Hi.
I used to run 132x34 as console text resolution, though it appeared slightly
bended.
That was before I switched from the Cirrus Logic GD5430 SVGA controller
that came built-in with this Pentium 120, to a ATI Mach64-GU graphics
accelerator, which is newer and better equipped, yet it only seems to
handle 80x40 -- at least according to <vidcontrol -i mode | grep T>

Now I'm stuck, 132x34 is really a beautiful mode, and 80x40 is hella ugly.
Is anyone out there able to help me?

Johann
