Konnichiwa, probably my English contain mistakes, fogive.

I'm looking for the way to adjust text console pixel size.

I uses SONY laptop PC, PCG-FX77Z/BP, a little bit obsolete Athlon M
machine.
It must be pleasure for me that this has SXGA+(1400x1050) color LCD,
but this make me mad.

When I uses preinstalled windows XP, the symptom submerged.
Next, When I started to use Debian GNU/Linux, I noticed about
some annoying lines next to the pointer, and/or somewhere else in LCD.
Then I have very in trouble, but solved with vga option.
Setting and passing vga=834 option to kernel, the text console and 
boot message became in 1400x1050 mode, and it didn't conflict with X.
Without conflict between X and text console in pixel, the annoying lines
dissapear.
Yes, this hack go well. I got huge space in console and X is not make me
mad.


Now, I want to this again in OpenBSD.
I wanted to much know about BSDs, and OpenBSD atracted me. As I thought,
X in OpenBSD has the line next to the pointer. It perhaps be sync error.
Even if I uses cool Afterstep, it make me disapointed.

But It seems OpenBSD has no flame buffer, or vga-like option.
I tried to use wsconscfg, but not succeeded.

I runed this in ttyC0 as root:

wsfontload -h 8 -e ibm /usr/share/misc/pcvtfonts/vt220l.808
wsconscfg -dF 5
wsconscfg -t 80x50 5

this was in FAQ7.5 Code. But I have found just only destroyed console at
ttyC5. Man page of wsconscfg is more confusing.

My quetion is below:
Can I configure the text terminal size and boot message size?
How should I so?
In case not, what is workaround?

Please help me kindly.
Regards.
