> Hi, I would also like to know the "correct" way, I know with vesafb you can specify it with the option vga= on kernel.  Otherwise you can have an init script run fbset.  I think certain fbdrivers can take options for resolution, but not sure about all the timing parameters, check the kernel docs for your driver..

Very recent versions of the gxfb driver in the Geode GIT tree (as well as -mm)
will accept the "standard" video=gxfb:<xres>-<yres>-<depth>@<refresh> notation.
