No xserver, change TTY resolution/size?

[elegos]

Hello again!
I didn't want to post this question in the previous one as it's totally different.

Well, is it possible to set a resolution to the virtual monitor, so that I can see commands in a wider window? Actually is very small. Obviously not having xserver I can't configure it via the xorg configuration file...

Thanks

You can change the resolution you get with the Linux Framebuffer. You modify the boot entry and add a kernel parameter to the end of the line. Depending on the resolution you want, this can be vga=792 for 1024x768. Check google for other values. Keywords "grub vga=", without quotes.

Thanks very much ^^

You can create your own resolutions like this

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

VBoxManage setextradata  machinename CustomVideoMode1 1144x696x16

this mode would be used by adding vga=864 to your bootline
You can have several modes (max 16) but they must start from 1 and include all until your last (no holes!).

Oh and the guest must be shutdown for aný changes to take.
