As Tom said, you can't. His suggestion of setting the font will work, sort of, especially if you make the font bold. I asked this same question, 'How is it possible to set the console resolution to a different value than the GUI?', and a developer told me that it is not possible using nouveau (not sure about proprietary). What I did is run with the old xv driver for nvidia, and add nomodeset vga=0x317 on the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst. 0x317 is 110x40, I think 0x315 is 80x25. Your video hardware might not be nvidia, but this should give you some ideas to try. In the GUI Ctl-Alt-Bksp will flip through the available resolutions (at least it does here). -- 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
