I tried to get a 50 line display by putting the option
vga = extended
on my lilo boot parms but I still get only 25 lines on my actual
screen. The kernel boot messages show an 80.50 display but
still... This has happened on two different machines of mine and one
of them is brand new. Do I need to change anything else to get this
to work such as terminfo entries or tset commands?
Thanks for any help.

To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.
Rather than using extended vga, use a utility called svgatextmode (or stm
for short). It let's you resize the screen, possibly all the way up to a
200x81 screen.
In short, if you don't care about whether anyone can see it, do:
stm -v 200x81x9
Otherwise, you'll have to take a look at the config file to see what cards
support what.

If you don't have svgatextmode (stm for short) or it for some reason
won't work for you, you can use "vga=791" on the boot line or in lilo's
append line to get a 128x48 display. There are likely ways to get even
more, but I want it to be readable to the sighted occasionally.

Hi, Steve:
Here's how I do it. I get 64 lines and 130 columns with:
vga=0x31B
I have put exactly that statement in my lilo.conf when using lilo, and
added it to my kernel params with grub.conf when using grub.

Thanks to several of you who have answered. I'll have to give these
other options a try. I am curious however, why I only got 25 lines
even though the kernel said it was an 80x50 display. I thought I
would at least get the fifty lines to start with. I'm concerned that
even if I try these other numbers, I'll still get 25 lines or worse,
get a prompt for a valid number without speech. That very thing
happened to me a while back on an older s3 VGA display.

Another way to do it is by using Svgatextmode. Just put in your boot script "stm -v 200x81x9." The -v option tells Svgatextmode not to validate the video mode you vive it. The next parameter
will give you 200 columns by 81 lines.

When you say "stm -v 200x81x9", you mentioned the 200 and 81 but what
does the '9' do?
Guess I'm gonna have to track this puppy down. I don't currently have
it installed here on my Slackware 10 box. Dunno if that is a Slack

More data.
The print just gets smaller and smaller. Those of us using speevch don't
care. Only those that come read the screen for us care, maybe.

Well, it means just that. Your conventional screen has only 25 lines
of text that can be read or listened to on any screen at any time.
These other video modes allow for a greater number of lines of text
and columns in some cases. Same physical screen and monitor and all
that; just more reading area before having to scroll to the next page
or having to scroll sideways to read the extra columns that might be
off to the right some place. I'm sure these other modes imply higher
screen resolution thus causing the letters to appear smaller visually.

In your message you mention scrolling. Does speakup have a way to scroll
beyond the current boundries of the screen?

Well, it means just that. Your conventional screen has only 25 lines
of text that can be read or listened to on any screen at any time.
These other video modes allow for a greater number of lines of text
and columns in some cases. Same physical screen and monitor and all
that; just more reading area before having to scroll to the next page
or having to scroll sideways to read the extra columns that might be
off to the right some place. I'm sure these other modes imply higher
screen resolution thus causing the letters to appear smaller visually.

When I say scrolling, I mean things like using less to page through a
file. As for other scrolling aspects, have to wait and see if anyone
else can answer us.

Hi Steve. The reason your settings are being overridden is probably due
to the fact that you have a frame buffer driver installed. This
defaults to 80x25. You may be able to use fbset to change the size of
the screen. If you don't have a frame buffer driver compiled into the
kernel, then check to see if you have SuperVgaTextMode installed. This
defaults to 80x25 at boot up.
Hope this helps.
Gene
