Which terminal emulator are you using?

As originally posted in this LQ post, edit /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm, changing the :co (columns) and :li (lines). Here's a diff of an example modification:

Code:

root@CW8:/usr/share/vte/termcap# diff  xterm.org xterm 
10c10 
< 	:co#80:it#8:li#24:\ 
--- 
> 	:co#132:it#8:li#60:\

Thank you! I will try it as soon as I get home.

I appreciate it.
