Hi all,
I've got a new LCD 19" monitor. It's a good device, but I always work into a shell environment, so the fonts size is too big for comfortable activity.
I've tried to increase the resolution adding the vga=VALUE parameter in kernel-xen line, but it seems not work.
Some useful info:
[root@horus ~]# uname -a Linux horus 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5xen #1 SMP Thu Jun 14 18:01:24 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
This has nothing to do with kernel-xen ... You'll have the same problem with the standard kernel. Upstream did compile kernels for el5 without CONFIG_FB_VESA ... so no framebuffer at the console.
See the report on the upstream bugzilla system : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236195
As stated, this will be (probably) solved in el5.1 ...
