Not that i know. Linux's svgaconsole works totally differently, it (IMHO) uses the BIOS. The closest to all of this was once pcvt's 132-column ability, but alas, it turned out to be too much hardware-dependant. Even though i'm sorta a co-author of pcvt, my own screen doesn't support 132 columns anymore. I simply use the text screen too seldom in order to feel any pressure of doing anything at this ancient code. Hacking SyncPPP over ISDN is more compelling right now. ;-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
