The syscons driver and associated vidcontrol(1) program can do this for you. For some resolutions, you may have to load a font. In my /etc/rc.something file, my display resolution gets changed as the system comes up. On the other hand, there seems to be a problem where the display has a different size/font, but the TIOCGWINSZ info seemed to have the default 80x24 parameters. Re-setting the display resolution with vidcontrol(1) corrects it. Strange.. louie
