Well, I did some searching and couldn't find anything for my little problem.
I'm running Debian with a custom built Linux kernel (2.6.8-1). I want to set the console (maybe with something like vga= ) so that I have a resolution between 800x600 and 1280x1024 at the console. I plan on trying to add a boot splash later, but back to the point at hand.... My computer has two graphics cards, an onboard video and a nVidia GeForce II. I can't disable the onboard graphics in the bios, I can only choose AUTO or INTERGRATED. Well, it considers my GeForce to be the second card. This is the only one that I actually have a monitor hooked up to. The kernel and X both handle the setup fine. Until I add the vga bootparam. Then it appears that while the kernel is booting (and anytime I switch to console) that it tries to use the onboard video. X however is still using the correct display. Is there a way to make the kernel use a higher resolution in the console on the second video card (so that I can have a boot splash.)
