Steve, My Slackware 10.0 system gives me 132X60 screens using vga=15492, but the environment variables "COLUMNS" and "LINES", which are set properly, need to be exported via /etc/profile. I am still using kernel 2.4.26 here with only minor changes in the configuration. Those big screens are addicting.
