| |
Hi,
In the latest -bk tree, using the vesa fb driver, I get a window that is much too big for my screen. I'm using "vga=0x0305" as a command line option, which I've been using for years on this box, and when the fb code kicks in, it creates a screen that has more lines than are displayed on the monitor (text lines that is). I can see 48 lines, but it's acting like there are more that that present.
Is this just an operator error, in that I need to provide a different command line option now for the size of the console screen?
Here's the relevant portions of the boot messages:
