I have this in mine: keymap="uk.cp850" keyrate="fast" font8x8="swiss-8x8" allscreens_flags="80x50" This is ok for me here in the UK - you might have to play around with different fonts if you use a different keymap. The screen flags setting just changes the display to 80x50 instead of the default 80x25. Note you can test those settings out from the console using kbdcontrol. -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/
