The vga+vesa+syscons logic supports the larger console; they just chose to hardcode the smaller size. [I did this without knowing C.] This would require that you download a lot of source files onto your laptop, or get someone else to do it for you. >- Can I run the console at 100 cols x 37 rows @ 800x600 on a 12.1" screen? >I >read in the archives that the (old) 800x600 VESA 1.2 mode didn't result in >100x37 chars on laptops... Has this changed? OTOH, I have lost a lot of hair getting 128x48 on my 1024 by 768 screen :) [This did require that I learn C.] It works but I want to generalize my coding for all cases.
