Ubuntu console resolution
 
How can I change the console font size and resolution on Ubuntu 12.04. In case you missed it, console not X.

I have edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg and added the following, which changes the grub menu resolution but not the console resolution, which is set way too high, I think at 1600x1450.

Also adding vga=ask to the linux line when you edit the grub2 menu, no longer works.

Code:
function load_video {
set gfxmode=800x600
set gfxpayload=1024x768x32
...
....
.....

<<Solution>>

Edit /etc/default/grub

Code:
GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600
 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="915.modeset=0 nomodeset"
Code:
update-grub

Is it possible to change the framebuffer resolution on the fly with a command with the above setting in place ?

Is there a command to do that ?
