Hi there. We're talking about a Red Hat 7.3 system here, but the question is probably equally relevant both to earlier Red Hat systems and to other distributions as well. We are also NOT talking about X-Windows but about the virtual text consoles.
When one is booting into Linux, one can specify "vga=1" on the kernel command line to specify that one wishes to have an 80x50 text screen. How does one specify this after Linux has finished booting? The reason I ask is that although it's specified on the command line, something during the init process switches it back to 80x25 lines. I'd prefer to have it in 80x50 mode on this computer though. Best wishes from Riley. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
