LILO VGA params?

tuxx · 2003-07-27T18:57:37

When I installed Slackware 9.0 a while ago, the LILO configuration part let me set the VGA mode. I set it to a certain mode that I think would be the equivalent of 1024x768, and it also had other modes such as the equivalent of 800x600. Now from what I remember this mode was something along the lines of 0x773 or something like that. Now that I''ve installed Debian, if I set the vga parameter to 0x773, it says that that isn''t a mode, and gives me a list of other modes. These modes are all text modes, like 80x25. But I want the VGA mode to actually have, well, VGA modes, such as 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, like on Slackware. So does anyone know how I can get these VGA modes for the console? Thank you.

Read the forum description again, it says...
"Discuss ANYTHING related to *BSD, Irix, Linux, Mac, Solaris, etc."

If you care so much, why not start a new, game-related thread?

If you haven''t figured it out yet, I can post my lilo.conf file on here. It has some of the VGA stuff and the Penguin logo at the top.
