Hi all, I've got a new LCD 19" monitor. It's a good device, but I always work into a shell environment, so the fonts size is too big for comfortable activity. I've tried to increase the resolution adding the vga=VALUE parameter in kernel-xen line, but it seems not work. Some useful info: [root at horus ~]# uname -a Linux horus 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5xen #1 SMP Thu Jun 14 18:01:24 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

You'll have the same problem with the standard kernel. Upstream did compile kernels for el5 without CONFIG_FB_VESA ... so no framebuffer at the console.
