Two options I can think of: There's a program called SVGATextMode (not in portage) which can change the console size after boot. I have "Video Mode Selection Support" (although not framebuffer support) compiled into my kernel, and choose the video mode with vga=xxx. At first, set it to "vga=ask". Then, at the prompt, type "scan". After a few minutes, you'll have a list of available modes and numbers for them. -- Marshal Newrock, unemployed Linux user in Lansing, MI Caution: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
