If you are referring to text mode, and you have a modern video card with a VESA 3.0 bios, you can probably load the VESA module and use 'vidcontrol' to select a higher text mode. Normal text mode is usually 80x25 chars. Other options include: 80x43 80x50 80x60 132x43 132x50 132x60 Note that you need to load additional console font files for these higher modes. 'man vidcontrol' will tell you all you need to know. Regards, Jason
