I installed Android-x86 on VirtualBox and find the resolution to be too big, because it causes lags on the virtual device. I wanted to try a smaller resolution and came to the menu.lst file with the vga=844 kernel option.
I tried to look around for a list of valid values, but can't find much information.
So, what other VGA values are there?
The table below lists some Linux vide mode numbers.
As stated here:
The mode you wish to use is derived from the VESA mode number. Here are those VESA mode numbers:
| 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 ----+------------------------------------- 256 | 0x101 0x103 0x105 0x107 32k | 0x110 0x113 0x116 0x119 64k | 0x111 0x114 0x117 0x11A 16M | 0x112 0x115 0x118 0x11B The video mode number of the Linux kernel is the VESA mode number plus 0x200.
Linux_kernel_mode_number = VESA_mode_number + 0x200
So the table for the Kernel mode numbers are:
| 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 ----+------------------------------------- 256 | 0x301 0x303 0x305 0x307 32k | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x319 64k | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x31A 16M | 0x312 0x315 0x318 0x31B
