For 1024x768 at 16bit (64K colors or "thousands of colors") you could
|
| 12 |
pass an argument to the kernel like:
|
| 13 |
vga=791
|
| 14 |
These values could be used in base16 also (hexadecimal) like:
|
| 15 |
vga=0x317
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
To pass arguments to the kernel, you would need to edit your boot-loader:
|
| 18 |
1. Grub /boot/grub/menu.lst
|
| 19 |
hint, in debian, look for "#kopt" and append vga=0x317 to that line. Then run update-grub. Other distros edit the kernel root= line appropriately
|
| 20 |
2. Lilo /etc/lilo.conf
|
| 21 |
hint, look for the default image= and edit append= by appending vga=0x317 to it
|
| 22 |
3. Quik /etc/quik.conf
|
| 23 |
on PPC machines. Append vga=0x317 to the kernel argument line
