Console Resolution

[elliottuk]

Hi,

Is anyone else having issues changing the res of console. i.e. runlevel 3?

I have added vga=0x317 to my grub config but it's not working.
I have also tried vga=791

This was just fine on FC6.

Any ideas?


I also have the same issue with Centos5. Was ok on 4.

Please help it's doing my head in!!!!

Thanks.

Just checked mine, works just fine for me, replaced rhgb with vga=791

AAGHH!!

This is my /boot/grub/grub.conf
(below)
Does it look correct?

I have tried editing with vi, nano, gedit (in case one was messing the lines up).
It just ignores me. The runlevel entry works though?

Can anyone think of what i could be doing wrong? it's clearly me. but what!?

Ok.

Turns out vga=791 et all won't work when your calling the Xen modules.

I have removed Xen features from my system all together and it's fine.

RRRuuuuuubbbissshhH!!!!
