Configuring font with lilo

[Arthur Chan]

Hi ! I have this old m/b with integrated graphics controller. The box boots to command line and has only the bare RH essentials. The default font is very bad for eyes, so I added "VGA=ASK"  to lilo.conf. On rebooting, I can either specify the listed display options (all low-res) or type in "scan", which allows me to choose the hi-res options. However, all the hi-res options have a blue line above the blue directory names. When I use "vi", the empty lines have a continuous blue underscore ??? Is this a peculiar pronlem with the onboard graphics controller or is it lilo ?
