Description Alexey Dokuchaev 2003-08-09 05:40:13 UTC 
When making console go 800x600 raster mode (via vidcontrol(1)) for
better resolution (800x600 allows 100x37 chars since most common char is
8x16 pixels), all one gets is small 80x25 area in the center of screen.
The patch attached is being used by lost of people for some decent time
already (few years) and no one had reported any problem with it, thus I
decided it's probably time to get it in CVS already.

Fix: %%%
How-To-Repeat: Just try it yourself and see ;-)

It seems I've missed `-g' option of vidcontrol(1), which effectively
handles this issue.  So PR can be closed now.  Sorry for the noise.
