Does the screen resolution need changing too?
I've never achieved a change in the 'size' of the text console (i.e. visible rows and columns), it does appear to be incredibly complicated for such a simple task. Isn't there a definitive guide somewhere, a HowTo?

I appreciate your answer. Speaking of terminals, is there a command to set the rows and columns from the system console. I would like to be able to see 43 lines on my Ctrl-Alt-(1-6) text consoles at the computer.
Maybe the colors are related to something in that particular command set. Any ideas where I could look or how to do an 80 x 43 text console at the computer.
Thank you, Tom Klem

I would guess that your $TERM envvar is different. Colours require
escape sequences, and if the shell doesn't believe you're on a terminal
that understands them it doesn't set them up.
Compare $TERM on the rh73 and rh9 boxes. -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/
Tom,
/bin/stty rows N cols N
(where N is a number) can set the rows and columns of the current console.
'man stty' for more info.
/bin/stty size
will give you your current terminal settings.
/usr/bin/tput longname
will give you the 'name' of the terminal being used, as defined in the /usr/share/terminfo/*/* database. Also see: /etc/termcap.
The file: /etc/termcap can be edited. Find the entry for your $TERM. As always, make a backup of the current /etc/termcap, and a 'man termcap' and 'man terminfo' would be useful.
Best,
Tom
