Title: boot code xvesa=WxHxD cannot work in 2.8
Post by: exon on January 25, 2010, 08:39:49 AM

Hi, I have found the boot code that workable in TCL 2.7 is no longer work in TCL 2.8.  Do somebody else has this problem also?

Thanks

Working fine for me. base norestore xvesa=800x600x24 Note that .xsession from backup trumps.

Hi Robert, thanks for your help.

By using the boot code: base norestore xvesa=800x600x24 , I can successfully boot TCL 2.8 with 800x600 resolution.

However, when I use the boot code in the kernel line:
kernel /boot/bzImage quiet xvesa=800x600x24, I still can't boot with 800x600 which I haven't any problem in TCL 2.7.

As roberts said, check your .xsession.  It overrides the boot code.
