Back when I ran Red Hat 9 on my IBM Thinkpad T30, setting VGA=832 in my /etc/lilo.conf gave me exactly what I wanted--64 rows and 175 columns in console mode. Somewhere on the way to Severn this all changed. Now I only get this when I'm running as a portable. But, when I'm docked with a standard monitor plugged into the dock, I only get the standard 25 X 80. Yet, according to the higher resolution supported by the T30 on external displays, it seems I should be geting even more than 64 X 175. Well, I'd be happy to just get 64 X 175. But, what could be preventing it? The system specs include: built-in screen 1400x1050 external display 2048x1536 ATI Mobility RADEON 7500 Graphics type^ SXGA+ Video RAM std./max. 16 MB / 16 MB Video RAM type^ DDR Max resolution (with max video RAM) 2048x1536 Max colors (with max video RAM) 16777216 Graphics bus interface^ AGP 4X
