Try to determine possible resolutions by typing "hwinfo --framebuffer". Use the

Okay, *that* I didn't know. :-)
I do know 1440x900 is a supported resolution on my machines since it's the native resolution of their screen's.
For 1400x1050 with kernel 2.6.24-r3 I am using the following lines:
title Gentoo GNU/Linux (gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r3)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r3 root=/dev/sda5 vga=0x344
So after the change from the vesafb-tng to the actual uvesafb on the kernel, it actually IS necessary to use the "vga=something" trick on the boot line, then?
I'll do it and tell the results.
Thanks a lot, Alexander!
Best regards,
