i guess you don't use framebuffer and have console-tools installed, right? > Anyone know why this might be happening ? your screenfont does set-back the resolution. > Of course, advice on how to fix it is also useful :-) first, try to load an alternate screenfont manually. do this with 'consolechars' and the fonts stored in /usr/share/consolefonts. consolechars (8) - load EGA/VGA console screen font, screen-font map, and/or application-charset map. then, take a look in /etc/console-tools/config and the SCREEN_FONT option. modify this option to setup a higher resolution (smaller character size, the number behinde the dash.) restart console-tools.
