I have an Digital AlphaServer 400 4/233, and would like to be able to run
my console at a screensize other than 80x25, but when I run vidcontrol it
shows only one available mode(80x25). Is there a way to enable more
modes? I would like to be running something like 132x60.
Also tried enableing vesa support to the kernel but config complained, I
guess this isnt supported on the Alpha.
Any help Would be apreciated.
