Yes, that is a phenomenon that we all see since a few years. Its mostly related to distributions enabling framebuffer drivers by default. > On one computer I have the old style terminal with 25 * 80 lines and > characters.

It is outside of brltty's abilities to control, something that is in the domain of your kernel/distribution. From reading your paragraph above, I am not sure if you want to enable long-lines, or get back to 80 columns. In any case, it would help if we knew which distribution you are running. Debin at least lets you configure these aspects of your console through the file /etc/default/console-setup. For instance, my desktop at work contains the following settings: ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]" CHARMAP="UTF-8" CODESET="Lat15" FONTFACE="Terminus" FONTSIZE="12x24" FONT="Lat15-Terminus28x14.psf.gz brl-28x14.psf" SCREEN_WIDTH="88" My framebuffer terminal has 1280x1024 pixels (you can find this out with the command fbset). My fonts are 14 pixels wide. 1280/14 is roughly 91 characters per line. Since my braille display is exactly 88 columns long (a Handy Tech Modular Evolution 88) I additionally set SCREEN_WIDTH to 88 (which results in the stty call mentioned by Samuel being executed for me during console setup). Hope this helps. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
