Get Cute Penguins in GRUB Boot Screen Do you like cute little penguins running around in your startup options? If you are running OpenSUSE 10.2 and are using GRUB as your boot loader, you can have just that! The text below gives you an example of how you can do that. Login as root in OpenSUSE 10.2 and type the following commands: root@MySUSE:~> cd ~
root@MySUSE:~> mkdir Temp
root@MySUSE:~> cp /boot/message Temp
root@MySUSE:~> cd Temp
root@MySUSE:~> mkdir boot
root@MySUSE:~> cd boot
root@MySUSE:~> cpio -iv < ../message
root@MySUSE:~> gedit gfxboot.cfg
In the text file change the penguin variable to read:
penguin=100
root@MySUSE:~> find | cpio -o > /boot/message Get Full Widescreen Resolution Do you have a Dell Inspiron 710m and OpenSUSE 10.2 but can't the display size on the screen to 1280 x 800 resolution? I am going to explain is how to bypass the default settings of OpenSUSE 10.2 to get your full screen resolution back. Open /etc/sysconfig/videobios and change the settings in the file to reflect these new settings: VIDEOBIOS_PATCH="yes" VIDEOBIOS_PARAMETERS="7e 1280 800" Save the file and open /etc/init.d/boot.local and add the following lines: 915resolution 7c 1280 800 8 &> /dev/null
915resolution 7d 1280 800 16 &> /dev/null
915resolution 7e 1280 800 32 &> /dev/null
Save the file and reboot your OpenSUSE 10.2 and you should have your display adjusted to use full widescreen resolution of your laptop. | Nothing special here at the moment. More to come in the future. When it finally all comes it's going to be great! Most likely content will be about Computer Science and computers and great information on that.
