Thanks. That poster, wje_debianforums, presumably has a 1024x768 screen as 80x25 times a 24x12 font is 960x600. I'm achieving similar results but I guess I'm fussier. The largest font I find is 32x16 which leaves about 20% of the screen unused at the bottom. I find the unused bottom disconcerting because I expect "another line" rather than scrolling. A similar machine, that got upgraded from Lenny, did not convert to framebuffers and so works fine. I don't object to disabling KMS but I don't know how. I do like framebuffers as it is a smoother, faster switch between VTs and X. Also framebuffers seem to be the Debian way and I maintain enough machines to not want to resist little implementation issues. The threads I've seen on this problem are all murky. I'm surprised that there is not more complaints--either there are fewer console users than I thought or I'm denser than most of them.
