>Environment:

	Pentium 100 / RAM 64M / 2xIDE HDDs / S3 Trio64 videocard / b/w SVGA monitor

>Description:

	vidcontrol refuses to set any VGA/EGA videomode different
	from default 8x25 one.
	Custom 8x16, 8x14 and 8x8 console fonts are successfully loaded
	and 8x16 font do certainly work.

>How-To-Repeat:

	# vidcontrol VGA_80x30
	Cannot set videomode: Device not configured
	# vidcontrol EGA_80x43
	Cannot set videomode: Device not configured
	# tty
	/dev/ttyv1
	#

>Fix:
	
	No ideas so far, sorry.
