Hi all,

Got a little vidcontrol problem here--each line of text in 132x43 mode 
looks as if the bottom 20% or so of the font is cut off.  This is what I've 
done:

I'm running 4.4-STABLE.  I compiled the kernel with the VESA option.

 > vidcontrol -i mode | grep 132x43
266 (0x10a) 0x00000009 T 132x43          8x16  0xb8000 64k 64k 0x00000000 4096k

Why would the font size for 132x43 be set to 8x16?  Shouldn't it be
8x8?  I tried setting my resolution to 132x43 anyway, loading all font
sizes just to be sure:

 > vidcontrol -f 8x8 iso02-8x8
 > vidcontrol -f 8x14 iso02-8x14
 > vidcontrol -f 8x16 iso02-8x16
 > vidcontrol 132x43

At this point, it changes resolution successfully, but the bottom of every 
line of text is cut off.  Text width is fine.  Any hints?

Thanks,
Jeff
