I installed CentOS 5.3 on a desktop box, and I'm having a problem with the splash screen resolution (during bootup).
I suppose that it somehow got configged when I set the GUI's screen (I run in level 5). I think that, in finding the highest res for the GUI, I went past the monitor's capability. But it's good now.
During boot, I get a funny 'double' display (2 pointers, 2 sets of text). I can't find where to change it (thru the gui or manually). And, yes, I did try searching (on google.com/linux and the CentOS wiki).
I didn't see anything in /boot/grub/grub.conf that would set the res. I read about removing 'rhgb'; I tried it, and at least it uses an appropriate resolution. But, I'd like to use the graphical boot screen.
How do I fix this?

Try to add vga=XXX at the end of the grub kernel line... http://www.linuxquestions.org/blog/archtoad6-147095/2007/12/29/vga-resolutio...
