Video Modes in Linux

Item Type: Note

Hello, everybody!

Problem #1: ~~~~~~~~~~~ My Linux system uses a originalk TSENG ET 4000 W32i Graphics Card. Entering the line vga=ask into the startup file of LILO, I get a long list of possible text modes, also mode 100x40. This mode is very readable and therefore I want to make it my default text font. Where do I enter the settings to make them permanent? LILO tells me that it is mode 0b, but entering vga=0b, vga=9x0b, vga=12 as replacement for vga=all does not change the mode.

Problem #2: ~~~~~~~~~~~ I encountered that YaST is changing back all modifications of X. I entered automatic startup of xearth, etc., but if I add some X applications, YAST recreates the configuration file. Is there a special filename which is executed during startup of X which contains my personal and/or system wide settings for X?

Please, leave me*some instructions what I must do.

Thanks, in forward,

Rainer Hantsch
