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 0 (0x000) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 1 (0x001) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 2 (0x002) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 3 (0x003) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 19 (0x013) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 20 (0x014) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 21 (0x015) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 22 (0x016) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 23 (0x017) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 24 (0x018) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 30 (0x01e) 0x00000001 T 80x50 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 32 (0x020) 0x00000001 T 80x30 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 34 (0x022) 0x00000001 T 80x60 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 112 (0x070) 0x00000000 T 80x43 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 113 (0x071) 0x00000001 T 80x43 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k vidcontrol -i mode displays this: mode# flags type size font window linear buffer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0 (0x000) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 1 (0x001) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 2 (0x002) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 3 (0x003) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 4 (0x004) 0x00000003 G 320x200x2 1 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 5 (0x005) 0x00000003 G 320x200x2 1 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 6 (0x006) 0x00000003 G 640x200x1 1 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 13 (0x00d) 0x00000003 G 320x200x4 4 8x8 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k 14 (0x00e) 0x00000003 G 640x200x4 4 8x8 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k 16 (0x010) 0x00000003 G 640x350x2 2 8x14 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 128k 18 (0x012) 0x00000003 G 640x350x4 4 8x14 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k 19 (0x013) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 20 (0x014) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 21 (0x015) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 22 (0x016) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 23 (0x017) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 24 (0x018) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 26 (0x01a) 0x00000003 G 640x480x4 4 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k 27 (0x01b) 0x00000003 G 640x480x4 4 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k 28 (0x01c) 0x00000003 G 320x200x8 1 8x8 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 64k 30 (0x01e) 0x00000001 T 80x50 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 32 (0x020) 0x00000001 T 80x30 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 34 (0x022) 0x00000001 T 80x60 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 37 (0x025) 0x00000003 G 320x240x8 4 8x8 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k 112 (0x070) 0x00000000 T 80x43 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 113 (0x071) 0x00000001 T 80x43 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k Now I'm stuck, 132x34 is really a beautiful mode, and 80x40 is hella ugly.
