I had only 10.04 installed on my machine, but decided to add Slackware64 13.1 in a dual boot. (I'm a long time Slacker. What can I say? It sure helps when I need to compile or "dive under the hood" in Linux)

I used
sudo update-grubwith no issues. And it added my Slackware install.

However, SW boots with all that text, and I want it at a different resolution. grub currently boots with a 1024x768, and that is what I want SW to boot in. But it boots in 640x480

Ideas? I'd like SW to boot in 1024x768 also

Thanks

Kind of a pet peeve of mine, answering when the answer is SPECIFICALLY asked.

Anyone with a GOOD answer, that read my post? And the TITLE?
