[leaf-user] How do I set 50-line mode for VGA console (Bering uClibc 2.2b5)

[freeman groups]

For SSH & ttyS0 I can achieve this but I cannot figure out how to have 
my VGA monitor console on my Bering uClibc box give me 50 line display, 
akin to the DOS command "mode con lines=50 cols=80"

I've tried adding each of the following to isolinux.cfg (even separately 
testing with syslinux.cfg) but none had /any/ effect:
   vga=2
   vga=ask
   vga=ext
   vga=extended
   etc.

In my reading I've discovered that I may be in need of one or more of:
   setfont
   svgatextmode
   vidmode (aka rdev)
   fbset
but these all seem either unavailable or can't be found in handily, 
pre-compiled uClibc versions or appear to be unduly complex.

Is there an easy way to do what I want? Even a complex way?
Thanks for LEAF!
