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.
