(I've never actually tried > it myself, only noticed it when I was looking for 80x50 information :) Looking at the modes, though, it looks like there are only 80 column and 132 column ones. I can't see that a 800x600 LCD will support 132 column text. As I mentioned, under Linux I'm getting 100 columns. I like this extra width more than I like the extra height (I tend to have mc running most of the time, and its great with the extra width). -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cequrux.com Director, Research and Development WWW: http://www.cequrux.com CEQURUX Technologies Phone: +27(21)423-6065 Firewalls/VPN Specialists Fax: +27(21)424-3656 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
