Hi all, I looked for info on this via goole and searching my personal archives of this mailing list to no avail. I really liked being able choose my resolution and depth when booting off of the Kubuntu 6.06 Live CD. Looks nice when I choose 1280x800 (WXGA laptop display) and whatever color depth is presented to me at that resolution (I forget which one it was - 24 or 32 bits or something). When I boot from my laptop's hard drive, however, it's another story. It looks like it's forcing the display to 1024x768 and the splash logo and the little status bar thing and scrolling startup list are horribly off-center to the left and illegible. Also, booting to a terminal puts the prompt way off kilter (but to the right, of all things) and makes the command line unusable. What setting do I have to tweak to get this to work right? Is it a commandline option in grub? Is it something I have to edit into menu.lst (I've been reading up on this all night and the vga=791 option keeps coming back to me...but that looks like it's intended for 1024x768 - what should I use for 1280x800?). Once X starts, my tweaks to the xorg.conf file take effect and everything looks nice at 1280x800 - it's just the boot/splash screen stuff that remains beyond my reach. This is really the last basic tweak I think I need to do to this laptop to have it working perfectly with Kubuntu 6.06. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
