You can start by putting "vga=ask" in /etc/lilo. You'll be prompted at boot for a vga mode (with resolution). I usually shoot for 60x80. This persists for your entire boot session. - SVGATextMode. Multiple resolutions possible, can ge changed after boot. Install the svgatextmode package. Configure /etc/TextConfig. - framebuffer, as discussed above. More flexible, though I've not gotten it working myself. Peace. -- Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
