Re: Kernerl 2.4.5 Problem.



Hi,
You can try do this: add vga=ask in the global section of lilo.conf and 
then after rebooting you will get a prompt like this: Press <RETURN> to see 
available modes or <SPACE> to continue". when you hit RETURN it brings up a 
list of
available resolutions.
also, If your kernel crashes with the vga=788 and vga=ask you can try 
framebuffer (read: See <kernel source>/Documentation/fb/*.txt) Framebuffer 
is a kernel thing that *may* allow you to run the resolution you want.

Have you tried svgatextmode package? This worked for me the last time I 
have tried it.
hope this helped.
