Hi Jani,
I cannot believe this !!!
# The "old", subject machine:
# "ASUS P5E-VM HDMI" with Intel G35/ICH9R, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, 3.0 GHz
# kernel-3.7.1
[]$ cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
...
kernel /boot/LFSkernel root=/dev/sda3 video=640x400M@70 # without 'm'!
[]$ startx ...
# After exiting from Xorg (runlevel 5) to this console text, runlevel 3:
[]$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 25; columns 80; line = 0;
...
[]$
123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-
-bash:
123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-:
command not found
(Note: the Comments limited window does not give proper justice to the actual
command line, '123456789-123456789- ...'.
In real life, on the screen, the command text DOES wrap-around correctly to the
next row after the 80th column.)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH !
Unless you come up with other questions/suggestions/comments, etc., I think(?)
you can close this (I'm still in shock!)
Best Wishes,
-- Alex
PS We'll never know why 640x400 works. Could it be the "M" which moves us to
a different look-up table (than what xrandr shows as "natural" resolutions)?</pre>
