I know I've seen the fix for this before, but now that I need it I can't find 
it.

I'm setting up a laptop with FreeBSD 6.2. The  screen display in X is fine, 
but the terminal session screens are tiny, center on the display with several 
inches of black margin. How do I get it to use the entire screen and not that 
tiny little viewport?
