Hi.
The screen parameters won't be the same for a ssh session as a console
one. The screen parameters are only in effect for the physical
hardware. For example, all my ssh sessions use the default screen size
of my work station no matter what computer I log into.
If you are using a frame buffer to get the large screen size, and your
frame buffer driver supports it, you can have different screen sizes on
different virtual consoles.
Hope this helps.
Kenny
