Default console resolution

[lenny49684]

Installed the NVIDIA driver last night, and all is well! I'd like to take advantage of the higher resolution in the console, and have a question as to how to do it.

I dont use LILO, and boot to a DOS C: prompt, then use loadlin to boot. There is a line in linux.bat that reads: rem Start the LOADLIN process:
c:\loadlin\loadlin c:\loadlin\bzimage root=/dev/hda7 ro vga=3

I'm assuming I need to change the vga=3 to a different number, but am not sure what that number is. It is also possible I'm writing from an orifice normally reserver for excretion as well!

Any guidence would be appreciated.

System:
Dual PII 350, 820 chipset board, AGP 4x, Riva TNT2 32mb DDR, Slackware 9.0

I'll try the framebuffer thing when i get home....check out this page for a listing of the vga modes:

i think the console resolution on startup is meant.

in lilo you have to set vga=ask and you will be asked on boot which resolution you want.

maybe for loadlin it is similar?
