Subject: Change the screen resolution at boot screen
Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2004 13:08:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cih4un$tv4$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)

Hi,

My friend installed linux on his old notebook (dsl or deli, don't 
remember), and we came up with one problem: his screen could only handle 
800x600 resolution, but the boot screen used 1024x768 or something. So 
when the login prompt should show, its way below the screen. (no, the 
screen doesn't clear before the login prompt.) So, do anyone know how to 
change this resolution?

Thanks.
