I could have swore I tried that after reading svga.txt, but I must have bungled something. I think I tried typing 0x123 at the `Enter mode or scan' prompt which it wouldn't accept (too many chars) and then tried feeding it the decimal equiv. (291) which it said was invalid. Had I simply put "vga=291" into the 2.1 section of /etc/lilo.conf then it would have worked straight away. The only change I could suggest now is this: - .ascii "Enter mode number or `scan': " + .ascii "Enter mode number, hex ID (no leading 0x), or `scan': " to prevent people like me from making the same silly mistake. Thanks, and sorry for the semi-bogus report. One other person e-mailed me saying that they made a similar mistake, so it was worth mentioning anyway.
