How can I force the system console to have either a different font size or graphic resolution, then the graphic environment under KDE. I can set the resolution in grub, however, that ends during the boot phase when the graphics driver is loaded. At that time it switches to the maximum resolution of the monitor. Which is perfect for the KDE environment, but makes the text on the system console unreadable small using an 4K monitor.
How to to force a different resolution for the system console?
As cryptically offered by Andrei, video=. This is the method I've been using since KMS was introduced too many moons ago to remember. video= on kernel command line (linu… line) in Grub changes the screen resolution on the vtty framebuffers, and thus the effective physical font size there. It's documented on: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt Note that if X is running on the Intel display driver from the xf86-video-intel rpm, that it will inherit that resolution. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
