I tried this, but as it is running in a 320x200 vga mode, I can't see a lot of things. I think I see less than a quarter of the dialog window.
Time for extreme measures.
Perhaps I didn't speak english well and I don't know if I was understood for that. I wanted to say I saw 1/4 of the size of the s-c-d window; Or you did a joke I didn't understood
At boot prompt, add to the end of the kernel line, via the grub edit facility "vga=ask", IIRC.
I can't find the kernel parameters docs on my system ATM, so this is a guess from memory. Maybe I need kernel development to get those notes?
Anyway, that should give you a list of pre-defined modes, numeric. Google before you do this and get a list of possible ones. I would pick the 1024x768 as a first try. IIRC another is 800x640. There's a 1240x1076(?) I think too.
I did what you said, but it seems I didn't get the expected results:
Video adapter: VESA VGA Mode: COLSxROWS: 0 0F00 80x25 1 0F01 80x50 2 0F02 80x43 3 0F03 80x28 4 0F05 80x30 5 0F06 80x34 6 0F07 80x60
So, no graphic mode as I could find by googling http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO-5.html
If I use, as an example, vga=0x307, when I startx, I can see saying 4 desktops on the width of the screen and height of these desktop are only 1/10 height on the screen, at the top of it So, 9/10 of the screen is black.
