No idea - I don't use vga= with grub (although I do use video=1024x768 on a machine with a 1600x1200 LCD and an 8x16 font), so I don't really know how things appear with that grub option. Since it concerns you, on *one* of your ttys pick a different-sized font, e.g. 'setfont LatGrkCyr-12x22' (I assume you are using kbd-1.15.3 : if not, sun12x22 has a similar cell size), look at it, then restore you original font with setfont. Repeat for e.g. default8x9, default8x14, gr928-9x14. That last one is for greek, suggested because the cell should be wider, most fonts < 22 pixels high are only 8 pixels wide, although there is prbably a narrower font somewhere. On my machines (all use framebuffers), setfont gives a character size to suit the font. So, if I allow it to use 1600x1200 it fills it all with character cells : 8x16 fonts give 200x75, 12x22 give 133x54 if my maths is right, and limiting it to 1024x768 with an 8x16 font gives 128x48 (and the whole screen is still filled). Does this work for you ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
