Hello,

Debian 7.6.0, even at the console level, sets up my display in some high resolution mode.

Any way to disable this so called high resolution VGA mode?

Thanks,

Hi

Add "nomodeset" and one of the following to the kernel command line.

1. Older kernels - "vga=normal" 2. Newer kernels - Intel graphics "i915.modeset=0", nvidia graphics - " nouveau.modeset=0"
