   Yes, just after I posted :-(   
      
   Thanks for the quick reply.   
      
   I'm experimenting with the slackware-current ISO.  I find that the   
   command line has changed and now instead of rdinit you use initrd and   
   the commands to the frame buffer come before the root.   
      
   The following line works to get VGA=791:   
      
   huge.s vga=791 root=/dev/xxyy initrd= ro   
      
   But I'd rather have the mode set to give me 1920x1080, so it seems as   
   though the boot line is running with nomodeset.  I tried adding modeset   
   or modeset=1 in place of the VGA, but with that I get the 80x24 display.
