Undefined video mode number: 312 [VMware]

(1/2) > >>

Medox:
This appears everytime I run my TC in VMware, in text mode with vga=786. I then press enter and select 33F (640x480 - how I need it) and it works great but when I add vga=33F to isolinux.cfg it switches to some other, even smaller, resolution (too small). How do I solve this?

mcewanw:
vga=786 (in decimal) is vga=0x312 (in hexadecimal)

I don't know where you get the vga=33F from, but as a hexadecimal number 33F would need to be written 0x33F

vga=0x312 didn't work, in my case, but vga=0x33F did. Thanks!

p.s. 33F is from the list that appears after pressing enter (see first picture)

Medox:
Ahm... new problem.
Now I get Undefined video mode number: 33f, in VirtualPC & Qemu... :-\

Any way to use both? So that every soft/pc would get the right video mode (0x33f/786/0x312)

curaga:
What, VMware doesn't support the standard 640x480? *cough*

And instead of the standard, they have defined their mode to 0x33f aka 831, which on the other hand is *not* valid on any common video bios. You'll need to either use text mode, or find a mode that works everywhere (meaning a standard one that VMware also supports).
