Hi

I have a problem trying to get the 80x50 screen mode working.

What happens is that it switches ok to 50 lines when I invoke >vidcontrol
VGA_80x50, but it doesn't change to a smaller font. So when I type
something only the upper half shows.
My rc.conf says:
8x8-font = "iso-8x8", or something similar, and I've tried using vidfont
and vidcontrol -f 8x8 fontnamegoeshere without any luck. I don't know what
else I can do.. Is it just a fact that on some machines the 80x50 mode
doesn't work? I've also tried 80x60 of course, but nonsuccessful...
Any tips?

Peter
