I see your point. Substituting something that is "not as bad" for something that is "bad" really isn't a fix. As for my configuration, if you are volunteering to look at it, I'll be glad to send it to you. I'm using a Dell Dimension 4400 computer, with a video card which uses the Nvidia GeForce2 MX / MX 400 chipset. The chipset specified in svgatextmode is RIVA128. The X server uses the nv driver. The program works perfectly as long as the font height exactly matches the character cell height. But when they differ by 1 pixel, either way, I either get fewer than the correct number of lines, with the shell prompt below the bottom of the physical screen (as configured by default) or with extra garbage lines at the bottom (as configured in my bug report). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
