I do it anohter way. I happen to use a boot selector called "X-Boot" and
that one does a resolution change before showing it's menu. And IF I load
my screendriver (in my case BlowUP for Falcon) before X-Boot, it will
change to that resolution. And tadaa.. I boot mintos the usual way and
still get 1024*768 in X.
