I have a rather strange problem here. When i was using gentoo, I could put vga=8 in my lilo.conf and make the necessary changes to the kernel config and end up with a 132 by 43 screen. However, when I try the same thing in debian, I get using dmesg that my resolution has indeed changed but when I run "more" for instance I actually appear to be getting a couple lines less than I got with vga=normal Is there some other application running in debian unstable that may be preventing me from getting the benefit of the vga=8 useage. thank you. -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
