There seems to be a variable called LINES, but trying to change it does no good, as far as I can tell. I'll be grateful for info about either what to do or what to read about doing it. Thanks! > You need to discover what modes your video card supports, then add the appropriate designation to the arguments for your kernel in /boot/grub/grub.conf, e.g. vga=0x31b I don't know a reliable, accessible way to discover the available designations, unfortunately. If you put in an unsupported mode, an onscreen pop up will offer what the available modes are--but it doesn't talk--not even with Speakup. Only 48 rows? Sheesh!
