(Get the code!)
Tony Pursell,
That's weird. Hmmm... I would've thought "modset=0" would have defaulted to 640x480, not 1024 ...
One more thing then. When you start the system, make sure the parameters are actually being taken by the kernel. I suggest you do this by hand with Grub.
To do this:
- as the system boots, hold down the SHIFT key
- the Grub menu comes up, cursor to the default (not recovery) kernel
- hit the "e" to edit this
- well, in any case you should see if the "radeon.modeset=0" thing is there
- type this in if not
- also add "splash" as another parameter so you can see a splash screen go by
- hit CTRL-X to boot from here ( and NO you can't save the changes at this time)
- you should go to a 640x480 SPLASH initially
- in my case, then you get a terminal prompt
Now, to be sure, I am running a server. My machine does not try to start X. There may be some further problem. What I'm suggesting here is you determine whether it is a Grub problem, or an X problem further on.
Cheers.
