If you are using modeset, the default in current Fedora versions, the consoles your reach with Ctrl+Alt+F2 are at the same resolution as the gui. This can play havoc with font sizes. You can add nomodeset on the kernel line, and follow it with one of the VESA codes to select resolution on the consoles. I think the code for 80x24 is vga=0x315. But doing this can have negative impact on your gui resolution, unless you create an xorg.conf file (current Fedora versions don't have an xorg.conf). Then you can specify the X resolution there. I do this in order to get different resolutions on console and gui. It sounds like you might have already done this. Another alternative is to set the font size larger on the console. You can use setfont to tell the terminals to use a bold or larger font. It isn't perfect, but can help in marginal situations. A command something like setfont <font name here> -C /dev/tty2 should work for the console you selected. See man setfont for more information. Maybe someone else knows of a way to change the console resolution after boot. I don't. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
