Are you running a laptop or a desktop. Sorry, lost your original message. I read a post (darned if I can remember where) which mentioned something about not being able to change the console font unless the CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y kernel option was set to n. Then he/she could change the console font. YMMV. I have not tested this as I have no HD space left to compile a kernel, nor enough RAM. Is your framebuffer supported? Mine doesn't appear to be (cyrus GD7548). All the screen is not being used, and any vga=xxxxx does not have any effect. I have to use vesa driver in X, cyrus driver freezes screen when wmaker starts up. -- Chris. ====== Reproduction if desired may be handled locally. -- rfc3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
