bootsplash at 1440x900 in 11.2 RC2 ?

BenderBendingRodriguez · #1 (**permalink**) 30-Oct-2009, 16:18

Has anyone managed to have a splash screen at resolution different than 1024x768??

I need help with that, i do know that the framebuffer of my graphics card does support it. If i put vga=0x365 in my boot line i only see the boot messages, i want the splash screen

Any help would be highly appreciated...

Well, i found the solution.

In GRUB boot line i put VGA=0x0365

The weird thing is that YaST's boot configuration thingy puts VGA=0x365 instead and this one doesn't work...

Well, at install time I set my video at 1600 x 1200 and when rc2 was done with the install it stick in the bootsplash. No tweaking happened.

I was also doing that BUT i was putting vga=0x365 and not the vga=0x0365 which works.

Surprisingly YaST sets the resolution as vga=0x365, maybe i should file a bug?

I don't recall 1600x1200 being an option. I think 1440x900 was the most I
was allowed. Something to do with the ATI mess-up again?

The default to me was 1024 x 768
Then I change it to 1600 x 1200 before hitting the installation at the boot screen. I used to use 1024 x 768 because it is easy to read but since my monitor is 1650 x 1080 and not in the option I selected 1600 x 1200 and it was carried out by the installer till it finish the installation. Could be a bug too, who knows. I am using intel G33 video card as detected by sax.

I highlighted the one that the bootsplash is using which is on my /boot/grub/menu.lst is vga=0x34b
