I think I see less than a quarter of the dialog window. Time for extreme measures. 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. > > Regards. > <snip sig stuff> HTH -- Bill
