    framebuffer-problem after hdd-install on Toshiba Laptop

    Hi

    I have made a hdd-install, that works just fine. I have just problems with the framebufferdefinition at the startup. With knoppix from CD it works fine. I enter fb1024x768 at the boot prompt and knoppix uses the full screnn of my laptop.
    Now at the hdd-installed version this does not work. I have tried
    boot: fb1024x768
    or
    boot: Linux fb1024x768
    without results. I have just a little window and not the full screen. How does that translate to the Debian-Version, so it starts correct?

    I do have version 3.6.

    Thanks for help.

    Hi

    Ich habe mittlerweile weitergesucht und einige ergänzende Feststellungen gemacht. Vielleicht helfen die weiter.
    In der /etc/lilo.conf steht vga=791. Wenn ich das verändere, dann ist auch die Console kleiner dargestellt. Mit 791 wird der gane Display genutzt. Das Problem liegt also anscheinend bei KDE. Wie teile ich KDE mit, dass der Display die Größe 1024x768 hat? Ich habe auch mittlereweile 'append=fb1024x768' in der lilo.conf gesetzt. Aber auch das ohne Erfolg.

    Kann jemand was mit den Infos anfangen?

    Jürgen

    Try append to /etc/lilo.cfg
    fb1024x768
    or
    vga=normal

    No chance. I found the following solution. Start from CD with the framebuffer set and then reinstall. I hadn't done that before. I didn't think it was necassary to have a correct CD-start before installation.

    You're right.
    To avoid having problem after hdd installaton, it is better to include all the necessary cheatcodes when booting from cdrom before running installation.

    Basically this is the same solution. Knoppix appends all the active cheatcode into lilo when it does a HD install. Sometimes this can cause problems, if you have vga=normal as a cheatcode lilo objects because it already has a vga=791 line & it doesn't like repeats.
