11.3 has KMS enabled by default so changing the VESA mode will not have any effect. You need to use a larger console font if the default one is too small. It can be changed with CONSOLE_FONT in /etc/sysconfig/console. Preinstalled fonts to choose from are in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/.
NO,
I found it now, 'goooooglen' ;)
a kernel Param ist the answer
video=800x600 or eq.
That will lower the KMS resolution from the native resolution to 800x600. If you have a LCD this will likely result in blurry fonts due to interpolation, the correct(TM) solution is to use a larger fontsize, just as in X. But do whatever pleases you.
Of the specs for modern widescreen LCDs I've seen, most list 800x600 & 1024x768 as alternatives to the native (optimal) resolution. What's less likely are explicit alternate widescreen modes, such as 1600x900 on a native 2048x1152, or 1400x900 on a native 1680x1050.
Additionally, someone whose challenging eyesight demands a low resolution mode like 800x600 isn't particularly likely to notice the degradation ("blurring") in comparison to the native mode.
Sorry, I don't get what you're talking about. Please re-read what i wrote above, choosing an alternate font with a bigger size while keeping the native resolution gives you _both_ a sharp picture and larger letters. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
