Hello all,
Seems like a silly question, but I can't quite figure out how to do it.  I
would like to have my terminals display at something like 1024x768 at boot
time.  I have tried both vga=ask and vga=0x305 in /etc/lilo.conf, and
neither gives me what I want  - ask supplies a max res of 640x480, and
vga=0x305 gives the same, although I thought would give the res I'm looking
for.  However, fbset 1024x760-60 works just fine.  Am i just feeding the
wrong numbers in my vga line?  Is it some stupid syntactic error (like I
need append = first)?  I could put a little script in /etc/rc2.d/, I
suppose, but I would like the kernel to handle it, as it's compiled in.
