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 >When I say scrolling, I mean things like using less to page through a >file.
