where can i find the fbset package for centos 6

as far as I can tell, fbset hasn't been updated since the 90s, its a piece
of history, I doubt it has any place in a modern X system.

That might be true, but I see its still packaged and available in
Fedora.  Its possible that it is completely nonfunctional, it looks
like it has just been rebuilt without changes since 2009.

The latest fedora srpm for rawhide builds as an el6 package, so I
suspect it's not changing that much.

I don't see anything on Red Hat's site mentioning it was removed.

However, it looks like 'busybox' has a fbset command.  Does running
'busybox fbset' work for you?


Yes it does but has no affect on changing the console resolution
Debian has fbset package and allows me to change console resolution
Maybe RHEL/CentOS has not caught up Debian 8 is a bit newer
