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. On Tue, Sep 14, 2004 at 10:33:48AM -0400, Janina Sajka wrote: > Hi, Steve: > > Here's how I do it.
