How do I choose the resolution of the terminal?Forum: Other Help Topics Topic: How do I choose the resolution of the terminal? started by: soinsg Posted by soinsg on Oct. 21 2004,21:20
Everytime I boot it says:
I am presented with a menu listing some columns x rows. If I choose anything other than 80x25, then exit fluxbox it half reverts to 80x25. By that I mean the size of the screen is now 80x25 but the prompt and a lot of recent output is off the bottom of the screen. I tried booting with fb1024x768 (the max res for my laptop), but unless the font is huge, I don't think it worked. I know it's possible to get a higher resolution as I've seen distros (slackware I think it was) with 128 column screens, and a 5 pixel high font wasn't being used either.

Ok I have it working now. I'm using 'dsl vga=773' which I saw in a lilo.conf but didn't know what it was until now.
