To quote RAccess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, # 1. I have heard that its possible to run console in multiple resolutions. # How do I do this in debian, specifically?
One way is to compile framebuffer support into your kernel. Read /path/to/linux/source/Documentation/fb/* . Probably vesafb.txt . # 2. How can I have more console windows than the default 6? I want to bump # up tty7 and above used for X. Also, what happens if I want more terminals # than 12? There are only 12 function keys! Take a look at /etc/inittab . You'll see a bunch of lines that look like: 6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6 Add new lines, simply changing the very first and the very last numbers, like: 7:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty7 That'll give you a seventh console. Continue to taste :) As far as having more than 12, I don't know about that. Maybe using left alt will allow you to use another set. But why would you want so many? Incidentally, X uses the next free tty. So if you have 'getty's up to tty11, X will be on tty12. David Barclay Harris, Clan Barclay Aut agere, aut mori. (Either action, or death.)
