I've got 4.1-R running fine on my laptop. Now I would like to get the most
out of the console (yes, I have no X) by taking full advantage of the
800x600 LCD display and 2MB of video memory with the C&T 65550.
I have tried all the non-VESA text modes, and found 80x30 to be better than
the default 80x25. But knowing that 800x600 / 8x16 = 100x37.5 I know I
should be able to do better. So I used the VESA option and switched to
VESA_800x600, but instead of getting 100x37 I just get 80x25 in a smaller
"window" in the middle of the screen. Checking man pages and the mailing
list archives I can't figure out how to improve upon this.
1) Is VESA + sc0 + vga0 + fb0 hardcoded to 80x25?
2) Is this combo hardcoded to 4-bit color?
Thanks for any help. Obviously the first question deserves more attention
than the latter. Hopefully I have included all the necessary info below.
