I'm getting this error:
Undefined video mode number 317
What I have to do to skip this error?
I use a mini notebook or whatever they call it with resolution 1024x600
Adapter type/string: Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset Family
Chip type: Intel GMA 950
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
I read through a couple of those google results, as I had the same issue and was kind of curious what was suggested.
Alternately I just deleted the entry vga=317 all together. I run my usb multiboot from my netbook and desktop, and have had no resolution problems since. I've booted it up on 2 other laptops without issue aswell. It seems to detect the proper resolution to use just fine on its own.
What I did was open the grub menu (/boot/grub/menu.lst), Then added "defoptions=vga=0x315" to the appropriate section.
What is the "appropriate section"?
Where is used "defoptions=vga=0x315", what does it mean?
There are 2 "vga=317"s, which one you have deleted? I deleted the first one, it didn't helped.
I've already tried them. Then I asked here.
I didn't get what is my probem.

I'm not on my netbook right now so I can't check precisely. But there's a commented example i.e: #defoptions= . Below this is where I added the vga line. The main one to edit is: scroll down and modify the default kernel boot option (scroll right). Find vga=0x317 and change it to: vga=0x315 . Then save and reboot, that should stop the error. The defoptions line likely isn't needed but I added it anyway.
