OT: more lines per screen

There seems to be a variable called LINES, but trying to change it does no good, as far as I can tell.  I'll be grateful for info about either what to do or what to read about doing it.  Thanks!

You need to discover what modes your video card supports, then add the
appropriate designation to the arguments for your kernel in
/boot/grub/grub.conf, e.g. vga=0x31b

I don't know a reliable, accessible way to discover the available
designations, unfortunately. If you put in an unsupported mode, an
onscreen pop up will offer what the available modes are--but it doesn't
talk--not even with Speakup.

Only 48 rows? Sheesh! I've got 64 rows by 160 columns on one of my machines!
