Hi,

I have been trying to change the console font size to something smaller 
and if possible I want to change the console resolution to 800x600 or 
1024x768.

I am using a laptop and I compiled my kernel with vesa and sc_pixelmode 
but I am not able to change the text size etc. with vidcontrol even.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Evren
