Hi I gete the same thing on bootup on my COMPAQ presario 1247 laptop. It says the same thing about passing an undefined mode number, and to wait or press space bar to continue, which i always do [press space bar] and it seems to work fine when KDE starts....I did dmesg and looked for any video related errors but found nothing....So I have no idea why it does that but it doesnt seem to be a problem.....i will look into this closer cause i would like it to start with no errors so i dont have to keep hitting the space bar every time! bob
