In order to have VESA_800x600 use the full screen of the virtual console,
run the following:
# vidcontrol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600 -f whatever_font_you_want
This will resize it to the said geometry of 100x37 chars at a resolution
of 800x600.
The rc.conf entries look like this on my box:
allscreens_flags="-g 100x37 VESA_800x600"
font8x16="/usr/share/syscons/fonts/iso15-8x16.fnt"
This should work just fine and fill up the whole available screen.
I just don't like the low refresh rate of 60Hz, after some time, it blinds
my head :)
Does anyone know how to increase the vert. refresh at 800x600?
regards
