2008-10-21 17:46:50 Dimitrios Symeonidis ubuntu-meta: statusexplanation The answer is passing a "vga=xyz" parameter to the kernel during grub. These are called vesa modes, and a list can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS#Linux_video_mode_numbers EagleScreen, is this what you were looking for?

2008-11-26 16:40:20 Colin Watson ubuntu-meta: statusexplanation Unfortunately, using a VESA mode (with vga=) has the side-effect of breaking suspend and resume. This is a fairly well-known problem and if it's ever fixed then we'll reconsider it, but for the time being having suspend and resume work by default is more important to us than a high console resolution. Of course you can change this for yourself if you think otherwise.
