Hi everyone. I have been wondering how could I get my Linux box running 7.1 to run text mode in 100x37, because the 80x25 is just too ugly for my taste. I have seen the video based installer for 7.1 and 7.2 already implement this feature., I found online a site that states my graphic chip supports such thing; this site is mobilix.org, but I followed all their links and none of them was worth the effort, they were either broken links or related to other topics. My graphic chip is the Neomagic MagicGraph 128XD. Has anyone any idea? Any help will be welcome. Thank you all.
I use SVGATextMode. In the config file , you can specify many things , including your columns X rows. Mine is set to 80x50x9 as that was what best suited my laptop display.
