in debian lenny default console resolution is very low, so to change it to the one i want i edited /boot/grub/menu.lst file, added vga=ask. and it looks like this
so before linux boot i can choose the resolution. i choose 1024x768 8bit, which code is 305. at this time everything seems ok. so when the os is loaded i change vga=ask to vga=305 and after next restart i have black screen when linux is loading in console. it disapears only when X starts. anyone has an idea why is so?
i am talking about the list, which appears when adding vga=ask. i read that some people had problems with their video card after typing other codes, so just want to make sure.
