[LUG] Debian Console Resolution

 

Each time I try to use the console, I am put off by the fact that it is too big: the 
screen looks like 640*480.

I came across the suggestion to add vga=773 (for 1024*768) or vga=775 (for 
1280*1024) to the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.1st

It seems to work

If anyone has a better way of changing the terminal resolution (NOT under X) could 
they please let me know

Many thanks
