when i use hex numbers , a few modes like 303 (800x600) work, but that's all.
]]>Do you know how to make your own kernel? Then try and do your own and see if it workes any better
You can also try and using the Community/kernel26archck
which is a better kernel...with some newer feuteres in it ..

I think my problem may have to do with the motherboard, because hwd has 1 unknown device :
PCI bridge
unknown : VIA Technologies|VT8367 [KT266 AGP]
Also X seems to break the console video mode.
Since the agp bus has to do with video, this may explain why i can only choose vga text modes.
Perhaps i should ask this question in the hardware board ?

video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-32@60
]]>Is CONFIG_FB_VESA set?
Maybe the problem is related to the monitor you're using?
yes, CONFIG_FB_VESA is set.
The problem is not the monitor, because i have suse 9.3 installed on the same pc and vga=0x314 works fine under suse.
under arch neither vga=0x314 or vga=788 works.

title Arch Linux [/boot/vmlinuz26]

As soon as i add vga=773 / vga=788 or other options, i get the message that mode is unknown.
vga=ask only shows modes below 10.
I have a Nvidia Ti4200 card.
Looking at the Kconfig26 Framebuffer part it seems support for Nvidia is not compiled in the arch stock kernel.
# CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA is not set
Is there a way to get this active without re-compiling the kernel ?
