I now have a wide screen display, What tool can be used to change the number of characters wide and the number of lines high the terminal will display? The monitor is apple 23" wide screen, currently running fbsd 5.2.1 p.s. Is there also a way to have this new setting to be the default terminal display for all virtual terminals also (i.e. alt+F2 ...). thanks Brian -- ----------------------------------------- - Brian Black - - BlackBsd@Mountain.Net - - ProActiveTechllc.com - - Wintersville OH - -----------------------------------------
