Is it possible?
Depends (I think), if you are using the vesafb then you are stuck with whatever mode you choose at boot-up, if you are using one of the other framebuffer drivers I *think* it is just a matter of picking the right mode number to switch to a 80x25 mode whether it be graphics or text, but it will still be through the framebuffer. You should know that I have only a limited amount of experience with Linux framebuffers on my laptop using vesafb. -- Ashley Clark
