Do you hate that ugly 80x25 text mode you get when you boot your Linux system? ....or when you CTRL+ALT+F1 back to a text window?

You can make a simple change to your grub boot loader that will set your VGA mode.
Edit your grub.conf file

Find the "kernel" line and add a "VGA" attribute.
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.15-137.fc8 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet vga=795

That setting will use a framebufer and kick your consoles up to 1280x1024
Now you'll have a 116x32 console instead of the chunky 80x25 console

Hope someone finds the tip useful! :smileyhappy:
