I would try appending "video=<resolution>" to the end of your kernel
command line, e.g.
video=1024x768
FWIW, this one can be tricky because if using the DRI/DRM framebuffer
drivers (e.g., DRM_RADEON, etc.) the video output port may also have
to be specified:
video=DVI-I-1:1024x768-16@60 fbcon=font:VGA8x16
video=DVI-I-1:1024x768-16@60 fbcon=font:SUN12x22
video=VGA-1:1024x768-16@60 fbcon=font:VGA8x16
video=HDMI-1:1024x768-16@60 fbcon=font:VGA8x16
As far as the console goes, I really don't think the way to go is to
change the screen resolution. The better way is to just select the
desired font.
In LFS SystemV (don't know about systemd) there is a boot script that
looks at /etc/sysconfig/console or /etc/sysconfig/rc.site that can use
the FONT environment variable to select the font of choice. I like the
terminus fonts and use FONT=ter-128n.
Basically the boot script is only doing:
setfont ${FONT}
I suppose we ought to put the terminus fonts into BLFS, but it really si
only CMMI:
tar -xf terminus-font-4.38.tar.gz
cd terminus-font-4.38
sh configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
The fonts then live in /usr/share/fonts/terminus and setfont finds them
automatically.
