I'm using an HP Omnibook 500 running 2.4.7 testing/unstable, but I believe this problem effects many systems.
My screen is shrunk to about 3/4 size when I'm in console mode. I think this is because the wrong resolution is being used. Back when I used Windows on a Dell Latitude it exhibited the same behavior in full screen DOS mode. I tried putting vga=ask in lilo.conf (with CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE compiled into the kernel) but all this does is give me a choice of several text modes which are all still confined to 3/4 of the screen. Does anyone know how to set the resolution of the console mode so it will be 'full screen'? --- Also, a quick off-topic (Samba) inquiry: I can't get samba to mount a Windows share with group/other writeable permissions, even when specifying fmask=000 and dmask=000. I tried changing the permissions on the mount point, but as soon as I mount the share it switches permissions back to 022. I finally found a work around by changing the owner of the mountpoint to me, but I'd like all users to be able to write to the Samba share. What am I doing wrong? --Adam Kessel
