I might be way off, but can't you use the VESA option to kernel or the vesa kernel module. Once you have that then you can make it run in 800x600 raster text mode. See vidcontrol(1) for information on how to set the mode to VESA_800x600 for raster text mode and friends. One side note, this dosen't work on my desktop at all with a STB Lightspeed 128 video card. I don't know why and truthfully, I don't care to use it anyway. My laptop is (way) too old to do anything other than 640x480 graphics in monochrome, so I have no way of testing this. Like I said, I don't know if it'll work, just an educated guess. -- Eric Futch New York Connect.Net, Ltd. efutch@nyct.net Technical Support Staff http://www.nyct.net (212) 293-2620 "Bringing New York The Internet Access It Deserves" On Tue, 18 Apr 2000, Frank Louwers wrote: > >The thing I use, is the 80x30 font.
