I'm trying to set the screen resolution in /etc/grub.conf
using vga=
on the kernel line:
vga=788
I'm using CentOS 6.4.
That command should set the screen resolution to 16bit 800x600 according to antlinux's wiki.
I removed rhgb
from the grub.conf
file so I can see the details of the boot instead of the progress bar. The problem is that the details on the screen are very small, using and old monitor like most of our customers and changing the VGA setting in grub.conf
doesn't seem to change anything for these details being displayed on the screen or the login prompt at the console.
Any ideas on what to change to modify the screen resolution for the details show on the console during boot and login prompt? Setting VGA in grub.conf
just doesn't seem to do anything.
/etc/grub.conf:
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.32-358.el6.i686)

UPDATE:
I'm seeing this in /var/log/messages
:

I think this has something to do with my problem with the resolution changing on me..Still looking into it. Fixed it!! See fix it post below.
/etc/default/grub
