I run debian woody 3.0 on a old toshiba satellite 335cds. (circa 1998) I don't run X but i really like the present screen text size and way the text is formatted in the middle of the screen, (yes, it's a asthethics question, sorry about that). I just compiled a new kernel and the text is really big and ugly and formatted all the way to the left of the screen. (all the time, not just at boot)
How do i get the text centered and smaller? I noticed that when my original kernel boots the text is big and formatted far left as well, but after about a second or so, the box beeps and the text is nicely aligned. Nothing in lilo.conf has changed for vga, it's vga=normal, same as before. I haven't changed any .config files or settings to my knowledge, just compiled a newer kernel. (still 2.4.*) (i have heard that to cover the whole screen i should look into svgatextmode, but i would still like to figure what's going on here first) Sorry, for such a trivial question. TIA -mUs
