^^^^^ :-(
These are from my sysconfig file:
font8x16="iso-8x16"
font8x14="iso-8x14"
font8x8="iso-8x8"

This is essentially what I do now, but it happens too late. What
I'd like to be able to change the default screen size for
everything in text mode. Each time I run "startx" the display
transitions through ttyv0 which in this process is reset to 80x25
temporarily thus deleting all syslog output on screen...
Greetings,
Ripley
