Getting More on the Screen

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Steve:

Here's how I do it. I get 64 lines and 130 columns with:

vga=0x31B

I have put exactly that statement in my lilo.conf when using lilo, and
added it to my kernel params with grub.conf when using grub.

To read more look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt
