Virtual terminal size is higher than real terminal, changing vide o in mac destroys linux

[AllanL] in suse 7.1 2.4 kernel, I have an s900 with twinturbo, suse is the only distribution that works. 1. The virtual terminal is higher , when I start with 1024*768 it is slightly higher, when I start with 1280*1024 it is much higher, is there any way to make it the same size. 2. If I change the resolution in mac os, the linux desktop is messed up when I boot into linux, I found that setting force seems to help, is this the maturity of the imsttfb driver or is there a fix. Also, can I adjust the resolution of real and virtual in linux.
