Hallo,
I have a question regarding setting the video mode. During boot the kernel switches to a mode suitable to the monitor capabilities (for my monitor with 1920x1200 this would be 75 rows x 240 cols) if the monitor supports this. Now here's where my problem starts: I use a 4-port KVM switch which delivers a default mode of 1024x768 to the 3 ports not selected. When an LFS system boots non-selected it switches to another video mode and size (48 rows x 128 cols). Is it possible to force-set the video mode after boot? Is this a separate package with some CLI or is this not possible at all? I have tried to follow the steps in the "console" init script but this didn't help me - it sets a font, but not the basic video mode.
