Screen size in command line mode

[walmala]

Hi Everybody,

I've set up Fedora on my laptop, the X11 is OK, but in command line mode the screen is a bit larger than the monitor, the right-end part (1cm) is not seem. It needs help.

Thanks, Walmala.

Add vga=0x318 to the kernel options if you want 1024x768.
Following is the informaion from the gentoo handbook. It works with all kernels

       640x480  800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
256 	0x301 	0x303 	0x305 	  0x307
32k 	0x310 	0x313 	0x316 	   0x319
64k 	0x311 	0x314 	 0x317      0x31A
16M 	0x312 	0x315 	0x318 	   0x31B

When you see the message that kernel so-so booting in 3 seconds, hit any key and edit the command line for the kernel and at the end, add the line above vga=0x318 then boot.

If you are satisfied with the way it works, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to make the changes permanant .

After rebooting the GRUB appears, then I select 'e' for edit Fedora, then I select 'e' for edit kernel..., It is seem the following:

...(button options)
<dc=ide-scsi rhgb

at this point I have written 'vga=0x318' at the and of the line, because I can't jump to following line. Than I press Enter, Esc and I start Fedora.
In the way mentioned above it can not reach the desired results.

Can you do it anywhere else? For exemple, by writting something in somewhat config files directly. Or what can be the problem?

After editing the proper line, select it again and hit 'b' for boot. Then see if that works!
