Hi -
My laptop has a 1280x800 screen, nvidia graphics, which all work great once things are booted.
The issue is that the SuSE splash screen comes up in 1024x768, which is a bit annoying. I’ve been scouting around looking for a way to push the resolution up to 1280, but I’m getting a bit depressed about what I’m finding. In particular, it looks like my bios just doesn’t support that:

So, the question is: is there anything that I can do to tease 1280x800 out of this computer at boot? Thanks!
