640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
256 colors 768 771 773 775
32K colors 784 787 790 793
64K colors 785 788 791 794
16M colors 786 789 792 795
-----------------------------------------------------------------

For 1024x768 at 16bit (64K colors or "thousands of colors") you could pass an argument to the kernel like:

vga=791

These values could be used in base16 also (hexadecimal) like:

vga=0x317

To pass arguments to the kernel, you would need to edit your boot-loader:

1. Grub /boot/grub/menu.lst
hint, in debian, look for "#kopt" and append vga=0x317 to that line. Then run update-grub. Other distros edit the kernel root= line appropriately
2. Lilo /etc/lilo.conf
hint, look for the default image= and edit append= by appending vga=0x317 to it
3. Quik /etc/quik.conf
on PPC machines. Append vga=0x317 to the kernel argument line

What's New in This Release:

Notes: * Minor bug fix: This release fixed problems where lsb-base-logging.sh and splashy-update-progress-steps needed RUNLEVEL to be defined and where splashy-update-progress-steps had a problem when scripts did not all log_end_msg before the progress bar reached 100%.

/lib/splashy is now created as it is needed by the initrc scripts.

A script to prevent console-screen.sh from running was included.
