Getting More on the Screen

[Sean M McMahon]

Could someone who uses grub with debian send me their file which loads the 
speakup synth line at boot up.  Please tell me which file this is and 
where you place it?  I'm having issues.  I can't remember how this list 
sends attachments so you may send it privately to smcmahon at usgs.gov

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
