Message-ID: <CIJHpu.AGL@cnsnews.Colorado.EDU> Sender: usenet@cnsnews.Colorado.EDU (Net News Administrator) Nntp-Posting-Host: spot.colorado.edu Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder Date: Fri, 24 Dec 1993 12:37:05 GMT Lines: 20 I'd like to get my consol window in 50 lines. Something akin to mode con:lines=50 for dos.. Very much related, I'd also like to increase the repeat speed and decrease the repeat delay.. again, something like mode con:rate=32 delay=1 I know the first is possible if I run X, but I can't afford the space right now and I have no problems just running 'screen' most of the time. I can't find any options for X to set the repeat rate and delay in X. xset doesn't look too useful. I hate to think I'll be stuck at the dreadfully slow default repeat rates while trying to get important things done at the console. I've heard someone said something about hacking in a bit of code just before the kernel is started or something, but I don't have access to either the person or the code right now and would like to find a solution as soon as possible. ian
