Is there a way of getting the kernel to boot in 132 column mode on a VGA based 2.2.5-Release / 2.2.2-Release box at all? I've looked at the vidcontrol(1) command, and at writing a small program that attempts to use the VGASETCOLMS ioctl (thinking if I can't boot to 132 I can switch after boot?) - but all to no avail... Is this a no-no at the moment, or can it be done? (before I waste any more time ;-) - I've had a quick look in the FAQ's / mailing list archives - it's mentioned sufficiently occasionally enough to make me think it's probably not easily possible... :-( Kp
