widescreen and framebuffer?
Is it possible to get widescreen resolution for framebuffer?
Use the Source, Luke!

I use vga=791 (1024x768) on my laptop with a resolution of 1280x800 - it looks just fine.

Re: widescreen and framebuffer?
I started to look into this the other day, and it appears that the bottom line is you can't do it with the regular vesafb framebuffer. You have to patch your kernel with the vesafb-tng patch or something similar to get widescreen to work.
