This is in response to caravel's comments: My hardware is similar. Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS, Intel Core 2 Duo. I also have Gutsy amd64 desktop installed.
I was intrigued that you were able to get a console with native 1440x900, and gave your method a try. It was not successful. But I was able to get consoles at 1440x900 with usplash working using: modified /etc/usplash.conf: xres=1440 yres=900 modified /boot/grub/menu.lst added vga=0x0365 to defoptions ran sudo update-grub Modified /etc/initramfs-tools/modules: fbcon vesafb Commented out in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer is: blacklist-vesafb ran sudo update-initramfs -u Your instructions are inconsistent, early you state vga=0x0365, then later vga=0x365. hwinfo showed 0x0365 to be correct. I haven't been able to make the nvidiafb module work. But at least I now have consoles at the native 1440x900 resolution of my laptop monitor. -- tty[1-6] are active but display nothing in Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
