      Where would I look for vga=0. I'm not seeing it in xorg.conf and if it does go there, what section does it go in?

      Thanks,
      Bruce.

        Nope, as kernel option.

          OK I'm going through the kernel setup now but don't see any place to set that option. Is it under device drivers ---> graphics --->?

            It disables the vga framebuffer as kernel option.

              Your help is greatly appreciated but I still don't have a clue where to look for this setting. Do I put it in grub, or some other config file?

              Thanks,
              Bruce.

                You can put it there or you use the grub edit mode.

                  That's a kernel command line argument, so you'll have to append it the the boot loader's command line for the kernel to load.

                  You can test it as a temporary option, by hitting the 'e' key while highlighting your boot entry on the bootloader screen (this is for GRUB Legacy), then selecting the kernel entry (again, with 'e'), and editing it by appending the vga=0 option. Then, press 'enter',then press 'b', to boot using this temporary option.

                  For other bootloaders (GRUB 2, ...) ask again, I'll edit this post.

                  As an advice, this info are availaible on the net. next time, try searching for them, I't useful as you can learn other things too in the process.

                    Well, it's working nicely.

                    Thanks again.
                    Bruce.
