You didn't read the entire post. The *DEFAULT* result of 'VGA=6' in |
| 7 |
/etc/lilo.conf gives an 8x8 font which results in an 80x60 display. |
| 8 |
*IN ADDITION* I set 'CONSOLEFONT="lat1-10"' in /etc/conf.d/consolefont, |
| 9 |
which gives me an 80x48 row display, using 8x10 font, which is *MUCH* |
| 10 |
nicer than 8x8 font. |

The reason I do 'VGA=6' in /etc/lilo.conf is because that is a |
| 13 |
quick-n-dirty way to kick the display into a 480 scanline mode, instead |
| 14 |
of the default 400 scanline mode. It's a lot safer and easier than |
| 15 |
screwing around with SVGATextmode (is it still around?). |
| 16 |

Anyhow, upon resuming from hibernation, Gentoo remembers the 480 |
| 18 |
scanline mode, but does not remember the non-default font, which is why |
| 19 |
I have to reset the font via the OnResume option. |
