Yes, I realized that. I tried to remove it by putting "nomodeset vga=normal" into the /boot/cmdline.txt, but the framebuffer was still active after rebooting, even though the portion was part of the /proc/cmdline output. > In these situations, two things become relevant when aiming for a > certain columns/lines length: The actual screen resolution in use, and > the size of the console font currently loaded. > fbset should tell you your current screen resolution: > > root@fx:~# fbset > > mode "1024x768" > geometry 1024 768 1024 768 32 > timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 > accel true > rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,0/0 > endmode I got: "mode "592x448" geometry 592 448 592 448 16 timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/16 endmode" > Ignore the extra noise for now, all we're interested in is that for the > sake of this example, we have 1024x768 screen resolution. > > In my /etc/default/console-setup, I have: > > FONT="Lat15-Terminus16.psf.gz brl-16x8.psf" > > which means I am loading a 8x16 font. 1024/8 gives 128, which is what I > currently have as screen line width: > > root@fx:~# echo $COLUMNS:$LINES > 128:48 In Fedora /etc/default/console-setup is /etc/vconsole.conf, and it contains: FONT=eurlatgr > If you want to achieve a certain line length, you can: > * Try to change your framebuffer resolution.

This is a Raspberry pi 2 without a monitor. But thank you very much. I will experiment. Lars _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
