What does "the font doesn't resize" mean exactly and how's that looking |
| 13 |
errorneous to you? What font are you even talking about? Since you're |
| 14 |
talking about the framebuffer, you're probably talking about the text |
| 15 |
console font? Does that even matter (i.e. are you using the text |
| 16 |
console)? |

AFAIK, nvidia-drivers don't have framebuffer support at all. In order |
| 19 |
to have a graphical console on bootup, you need to configure other |
| 20 |
framebuffer drivers in your kernel. I think the suggested one to use in |
| 21 |
combination w/ nvidia-drivers (the combination matters for switching |
| 22 |
between X and console) is vesa or vesa-tng. |
