framebuffer font big
hey guys I am new to linux and I just installed slackware 10 with the 2.4.26 kernel. so i figured I would try to compile 2.6.8.1. everything seems great no issues with sound or internet. only one thing is my framebuffer console font on the 2.6.8.1 is way to big for my liking. how do i get it smaller like on the 2.4.26? here is my lilo.conf. thanks guys
# LILO configuration file # generated by 'liloconfig' # # Start LILO global section boot = /dev/hda message = /boot/boot_message.txt prompt timeout = 1200 # Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table: change-rules reset # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 vga = 773 # Normal VGA console # vga = normal # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k # vga=791 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k # vga=790 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 # vga=773 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k # vga=788 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k # vga=787 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256 # vga=771 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k # vga=785 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k # vga=784 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256 # vga=769 # End LILO global section # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda3 label = Linux read-only image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1 label = Linux-new root = /dev/hda3 read-only # Linux bootable partition config ends |
oh shit.. I probably didn't enable the framebuffer. do I have to go through the whole process of recompiling the kernel again ?

if you've not messed with lilo in terms of the vga options, then yes, you'll have most likely negleceted to add framebuffer support. you should be able to just quickly nip into the kernel config. so it's Device Drivers -> Graphics support, Support fot framebuffer devices. as other modules will already be compiled, running "make bzImage" should be very very quick. and obviously the modules will remain untouched anyway.
