[K12OSN] desktop resolution issue

[Gideon Romm]

You may need to add a kernel command line option to set the video
framebuffer to 1024x768 (some laptops are funny that way).

See:  http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/KernelOptions

and try adding the kernel command line option:  vga=0x318

PS:  I'm not positive this is the problem.  Just a guess.
