grub kernel arguemnts debian 6Open source can be annoying, just when I think i've learnt it everything has moved/changed. I have just installed debian 6, the kernel mode setting is getting it wrong for my hardware. I need to override some stuff so I go in search of the menu.1st grub config file ... its missing man entry for grub .... missing - thats poor, if people are going to constantly dick with paths/config files they could at least have a man entry giving an overview of this months "correct way" ?How do I pass kernel arguments? Thanks, Jon

Re: grub kernel arguemnts debian 6
Look in the info page for grub, what you ask for is pretty well covered under *Configuration menu topic.
You can't blame the people for trying out a better (although different) design. Look at python.
Re: grub kernel arguemnts debian 6
Thanks for that. I tend for forget "info" as I'm a bit old school.
Interestingly Fedora has a man page for grub with "See also: info grub" - that would have saved me some head scratching. Who do I poke/prod to get a man entry into the grub package in Debian.
I just installed a machine for my wife. My personal machine is running Fedora, but I thought I would try Debian again to see how that pans out. Seems to work well, even got dual monitors (mostly) working with nouveau driver and kernel mode setting. Bad point is it insists one of the monitors is only capable of 1024x768 - this isn't true but the monitor does not send a correct EDID (no ID at all I think). I need to *somehow* tell kernel mode setting that both panels are analogue VGA 1280x1024 capable... any pointers would be great. Played with xorg.conf for a couple of hours but it just seems to inherit its state from kernel mode setting (makes sense I guess) - ended up just removing xorg.conf ...
Many thanks for the help,
Jon
