Hello
With all that kernel mode setting stuff I have no idea any longer where to
pose my question. So I try here, knowing that it is most probably the wrong
mailing list.
I have an atom system here with a intel 945 graphics chip. I use kernel
2.6.33 on a debian based linux system.
I want to control the boot resolution of the system to always have it
800x600. In earlier times that was easily done using the kernel option
"vga=789". Today, I cannot get it to work. The system always switches to the
highest available resolution (1600x900) directly after grub.
I tried the following kernel options without success, all of them leading to
a resolution of 1600x900:
- vga=789
- vga=0 video=intelfb:800x600
- vga=0 video=inteldrmfb:modeset=1:800x600
- vga=0 video=inteldrmfb:modeset=0:800x600
- vga=0 i915.modeset=0
- vga=789 i915.modeset=0
- vga=789 i915.modeset=1
Can anybody hint me what I need to do?
Thanks,
Michael
