[Devil-linux-develop] vesa

[Heiko Z. <hz...@pr...>]

Hey,

for a long time I wanted to add vesa support and run my textmode in a
higher resolution.
I didn't do it because I had some issues on some computers.

But since Bruce wrote that nice script to modify files on the CD, we co=
uld
offer a way to change the "VGA=3D" boot parameter.

What ya'll think about it?

I'll try it!

What file do we change?  Do you have a list of the VGA= values handy?

IF it offered more lines of text on the syslog window - I would be for it.
Other than that, I don't expect there would be that much of a need.

I believe it would offer more lines on ALL VC's. (hardware permitting)
