Hi,
If your distribution is Debian, try dpkg-reconfigure console-data, then
choose terminus font and set the size among the possible choices. You
also can change this in /etc/default/console-data.

But since I uncommented the terminal=console and since there seems to be no way to pass the vga=791 that I used before with my Thinkpad T23 so I could have more rows and columns on my screen, I'm stuck with 80 columns and 30 rows. I've googled and googled this but the solutions I've found seem to deal with the graphical interface and not the text consoles. Has anybody found a solution for this?
