CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT: Video mode selection support

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT has multiple definitions:

Video mode selection support found in drivers/video/console/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT:

• prompt: Video mode selection support
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_X86 && CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE
• defined in drivers/video/console/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.5.51–2.5.75, 2.6.0–2.6.27

Help text

This enables support for text mode selection on kernel startup. If you want to take advantage of some high-resolution text mode your card's BIOS offers, but the traditional Linux utilities like SVGATextMode don't, you can say Y here and set the mode using the "vga=" option from your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) or set "vga=ask" which brings up a video mode menu on kernel startup. (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader about how to pass options to the kernel.)

Read the file Documentation/svga.txt for more information about the Video mode selection support. If unsure, say N.
