3-10 Linux Setup and Operation

SETTING THE VIDEO MODE

This section describes how to configure the video mode on the server. The server needs to be restarted in order to enable the video mode setting.

1.Log on with the root authority and open /boot/grub/grub.conf with an editor.

IMPORTANT:

grub.conf is an extremely imporatant file for the system.

In the worst case, you may not be able to start the system. Pay extra attention when editing the file.

2.Change the following setting within grub.conf. (The information such as the kernel version “2.6.9-34.17AXsmp” is just an example. Change these values to the actual values of your environment.)

title Asianux HAS (2.6.9-34.17AXsmp) root (hd0,0)

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-34.17AXsmp ro root=/dev/md1 vga=0x323 video=vesafb:off

 

 

initrd /initrd-2.6.9-34.17AXsmp.HAS.img

(1) vga=0x323

(0x323 is an option)

 

 

 

 

 

Configure the video mode common to the console and X server.

 

 

Specify an appropriate value from the table below.

It is recommended to set 0x317, 0x318, or 0x323. If other value is specified and the monitor does not support it, the screen may not be displayed properly.

3.Restart the server.
