There is not a font large enough to compensate for this tiny font size that I'm seeing. Besides, that's not the *right* way of doing it
I was able to find some more info about it. It's the frammebuffer. I can disable it with:
Code:
append = "nomodeset"
on lilo.conf, or type:
on Lilo's book prompt, but that prevents X from starting. X sais it needs fbdev (blame the Intel drivers?), which nomodeset promptly disables. So I guess the solution would be to just adjust the framebuffer resolution.
I notice that the framebuffer activated the moment I see this message:
Code:
console: switching to colour frame buffer 128x37
So it's that "128x37" thing that I need to adjust. Google shows a lot of discussions over this but I'm a bit comfussed, so it would be nice to tell me some straightforward keywords to look up for.
Now, about utf-8. I was able to follow your guide up till the point where I could see UTF-8 text files (with 'less' and 'vim', thank god vim is utf8 enabled by default) but I still can't write in Greek. I am a bit comfussed about keymaps at this point. Never heard them before. I'm still researching this on the web.
