tty 80x25 not available
I boot Knoppix 7.0.3 in text-only mode (run level 3). I prefer to have nice big fonts with 80x25 resolution. Every manual says that "vga=normal" will do the job. But this does not work.
With "vga=normal" boot begins in 80x25 mode, but then as soon as video card is recognized screen immediately changes to 132x50 resolution, and remains such forever.
With "vga=ask" I get a number of suggestions, and 80x25 among them ("F00"). But if F00 is chosen, the situation is exactly repeated: screen is originally 80x25, but 132x50 after video detection.
After quite some experimenting, I found the following solution: specify "nomodeset" kernel parameter. Now I get what I want, resolution remains 80x25 forever. But I feel unsatisfied, because this is not a solution but rather a "dirty trick". Is there a way to *instruct* knoppix to load exactly the mode which *I* want?
