| I use mode 307 and the vesa driver. The only problem that I have is that I
| can't add vga=775 to the boot string. I have a 770 with a 13.7" lcd.
I've noticed the same problem. I haven't gotten around to investigating
the source code yet, but I have come up with a workaround. Run this
command:
rdev -v /boot/vmlinux 775
(Use whatever is the correct path to your kernel.) This sets the video
mode. If you copy a new kernel image there (due to a recompile,
upgrade, etc.), you'll need to run the rdev command again.
