            <pre wrap="">Is it possible to get a 1400x1050 resolution on the console?  I'm 
running Debian Lenny/Sid.
I've tried using video=intelfb, which should give me 1024x768, but I 
get only the ugly 80x25 display.
intelfb doesn't say that it supports the 965.
I don't know how to make vesa work at this resolution either, or if it 
is even possible with vesa.

    <pre wrap="">Perhaps it's how you got the other modes already, but the trick I used to 
find 0x344 was to take a listed 1400x1050 mode from my xorg log (in this 
case 144), and add 0x200 to get the equivalent kernel parameter (I'm not 
sure what the relevance of this addition is - just found the technique with 
google &amp; seemed to work for me!)

I was able to use vga=0x344 on my t60p and in worked beautifully. Thank
you Adrian!!! I have been trying to get my console resolution fixed for
months.<br>
