Hi Andy, The VGA stuff is kernel-based. SVGATextMode is a program that you can load after the kernel's loaded to use SVGA instead of VGA. So generally the answer to your question is, yes. However, you can use the SVGA stuff to get higher resolutions also. Personally, I don't use the SVGATextM

Hi, It's when it gets to "Invoking SVGATextMode..." on bootup that it switches back to 80x25. Is "svgatextmode" some sort of driver I should unload in order to get this to "stick?" Thanks Andy
