I tried fbset, and it was distinctly unsuccessful. When I ran "fbset
640x480-60", the general appearance of the screen did not change but
all new text got squeezed into the upper-left corner in an unreadable
form.
It's not clear what mode I should specify. The output from "fbset" is
rather unhelpful (I didn't save the exact output but this is close):
mode: "1280x1024-0"
D: 0 MHz H: 0 kHz V: 0 Hz
geometry: 1280 1024 1280 1024 32
timings: -1 0 0 0 0 0 0
rgba: 8/16,8/8,8/0,0/0
