So there is no point in having a separate fontsize option because that's already part of the file name (fontname). For example, if you install the Terminus font, you select the size using FONT=ter-v20n, FONT=ter-v22b, FONT=ter-v24n, etc. It's up to each font to provide these variants. (The largest "stock" font is probably sun12x22, but its charset coverage isn't great.) > - vconsole.conf has no screen-resolution parameter > - vconsole.conf has no parameter to select a framebuffer, e.g 1052x768 > The kernel will activate a framebuffer automatically as soon as a KMS video driver is loaded (such as i915 or radeon). You can specify the screen resolution using the "video=1024x768" kernel boot option (e.g. via GRUB). This doesn't require systemd-vconsole and generally happens automatically as soon as udev starts. (Possibly even during the initramfs? I use early-KMS on Arch, no idea how that's done on SuSE.) On the other hand, if you're using the proprietary nVidia drivers, I'm not sure if those support a framebuffer at all? -- Mantas Mikulėnas ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
[systemd-devel] vconsole for handicapped or older people
Hi, getting older I'm nearly not able to read the text on a virtual console. I'm working with opensuse tumbleweed on a laptop and was able to configure the KDE screen for my needs, but not the vconsole. Google told me that probably systemd is responsible for vconsole- configuration, but in vconsole.conf there seem to be options for me to make the text readable: - the preconfigured font "eurlatgr" has no fontsize-option - vconsole.conf has no fontsize-parameter - vconsole.conf has no screen-resolution parameter - vconsole.conf has no parameter to select a framebuffer, e.g 1052x768 can anybody help with links to more detailed documentation or with hints how to configure vconsole in systemd/Opensuse Tumbleweed?
