<title>Setting a virtual console to 80x60 line mode</title>
! <para>First, an 8x8 font must be loaded. To do this
! <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename> should contain the
! line (change the font name to an appropriate one for
! your locale):</para>
<informalexample>
! <programlisting>font8x8="iso-8x8" # font 8x8 from /usr/share/syscons/fonts/* (or NO).

<para>Various screen orientated programs, such as &man.vi.1, must
! be able to determine the current screen dimensions. These can
! be set with &man.stty.1;:</para>
!
! <informalexample>
! <screen>bash$ <userinput>stty crt rows 60 columns 80</userinput>
! </screen>
! </informalexample>
<para>To make this more seamless, one can embed these commands in
the startup scripts so it takes place when the system boots.
! One way to do this is:</para>
!
! <orderedlist>
! <listitem>
! <para>Modify <filename>/etc/sysconfig</filename> as
! above</para>
! </listitem>
!
! <listitem>
! <para>Add to <filename>/etc/rc.local</filename>:</para>
!
! <informalexample>
! <programlisting>for tty in /dev/ttyv?
! do
! vidcontrol VGA_80x60 <$tty >/dev/null 2>&1
! done
! </programlisting>
! </informalexample>
! </listitem>
!
! <listitem>
! <para>Add to <filename>/etc/profile</filename>:</para>
<informalexample>
! <programlisting>TTYNAME=`basename \`tty\``
! if expr "$TTYNAME" : 'ttyv' >/dev/null
! then
! stty crt rows 60 columns 80
! fi

<para>Various screen orientated programs, such as &man.vi.1, must
! be able to determine the current screen dimensions. As this is
! achieved this through <command>ioctl</command> calls to the
! &man.syscons.4 driver they will correctly determine the new
! screen dimensions.</para>
<para>To make this more seamless, one can embed these commands in
the startup scripts so it takes place when the system boots.
! To do this is add this line to <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename>
! </para>
<informalexample>
! <programlisting>allscreens_flags="VGA_80x60" # Set this vidcontrol mode for all virtual screens
</programlisting>
</informalexample>
! <para>References: &man.rc.conf.5;, &man.vidcontrol.1;.</para>
