SLES 10 on ibm T43 character terminal resolution

edenCC · 07-09-2007, 09:15 AM

Hi, guys;
I'm running SLES 10.0 on an IBM T43 laptop with no X frontend.

my question is how can i improve the terminal resolution?

my current DEFAULT setting is 24x80, which makes me unconfortable a lot.

Thanks very much for any directions.

at boot time you can add as a kernel parameter:

vga=791

this should switch to 1024x768 with smaller letters and so on.
you can add that to the bootloader as well, grub I guess (/boot/grub/menu.lst)

Thanks! That's exactly what I need!
