As Jason has already pointed out, it is very likely that your ARM system does not feature any legacy VGA. So fb is likely your only option. >> In these situations, two things become relevant when aiming for a >> certain columns/lines length: The actual screen resolution in use, and >> the size of the console font currently loaded. >> fbset should tell you your current screen resolution: >> >> root@fx:~# fbset >> >> mode "1024x768" >> geometry 1024 768 1024 768 32 >> timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 >> accel true >> rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,0/0 >> endmode > > I got: > > "mode "592x448" > geometry 592 448 592 448 16 > timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 > rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/16 > endmode" Yes, and 592/8 is 74, which is what you are seeing AFAIR. Try to up your horizontal screen resolution. If you can get it up to 640, you should be happy. I used to use 1280 with a 14 pixel wide font. Gives you 91 chars per line. And with a bit of stty magic, you get exactly 88, which is very nice for a Modular Evolution user :-) -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
