In /etc/grub.conf, you need to pass the 'vga' parameter to the kernel. Like always, you can use 'ask' so you are asked to select a resolution at startup. For example: kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/hda2 vga=2 You also need to edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n to change the 'SYSFONT' line. Otherwise, your vga change gets obliterated when you get the boot time message of 'Setting default font'. I changed mine to "lat0-08". Works wonders. > Thanks for your time. That's what we're here for. -- Ed Marczak [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
