Hello Gene, Actually I tried to change "resolution" from midnight commander command line and system didn't allow me to do it. When I do it from simple csh it works. Besides, I gave wrong args to vidcontrol (confused '-i mode' option). Now fully satisfied. So, that's resume: Q: How do I change console font size to view more information at once, more text in vi, more files after ls ? A: Try type 'vidcontrol 80x43' on shell prompt. GH> I believe you use vidfont to change the font, and the use vidcontrol to change GH> the "resolution" to 80X43, etc. Try "man vidfont" for help. I use vidcontrol GH> to change the virtual console colors as well. >> How can I use different fonts (8x8 for example) in my local >> consoles ? I tried vidcontrol -f 8x8, but it reports that >> cannot change mode. -- Best regards, Arseny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
