A basic google indicates this is somewhat experimental. Is this true? I remember the command I used in the past to manually change to smaller fonts: $ vidcontrol 80x50 In the absence of anything better (VESA?), how can I automate this upon boot time? I remember using "allscreens_flags=80x50" but it didn't work. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
