How to boot to 1024x768 resolution?

Hi all,

How can I make Tiny Core boot up to 1024x768 resolution? Which file would I have to modify? My preference is vga=791

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I did a frugal install on my hdd.

If you want the linux console to be set to this resolution, then you would add the boot code  vga=791  to your boot loader's config file.
F.e.  /mnt/sda1/menu.lst 
or  /mnt/sda1/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
depending on what boot loader you use.

To change the desktop resolution...
If using Xvesa, either run  xsetup.sh  or click "Xvesa" in the "Control Panel" (accessible from wbar or WM menu).
If using Xorg, you need to create a custom  /etc/X11/xorg.conf  if the native resolution hasn't been detected correctly.

Thanks Misalf

Both of those files that you told me to configure are empty. And I don't think grub was loaded. I did a frugal install by using tc-install from command line.

EDIT: I just checked to see if grub was loaded by typing 'grub' and nothing happened so I guess grub is not loaded.

Hi toasted
Try checking for:

--- Code: ---/mnt/sda1/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
--- End code ---
Add  vga=791  to the  APPEND  line.

That file does not exist. What should I do?
