[arch-general] kernel vga setting problems
Why is it that after the last few upgrades with pacman I can't use any 'vga=nnn' setting anymore in my grub menu.lst? I used to use 'vga=792' 'vga=795', if memory serves me here. I keep ending up with a message at boot time that tells me the video mode selected is no recognized.

Are you using an older Nvidia card that had support dropped for it in the latest release? If that is the case, there are specific packages for those cards available. -- Aaron "ElasticDog" Schaefer

Appending edd=off to your kernel line in menu.lst may help

Not using an older Nvidia card. Using an onboard sis chip.
