Terminal Size
« on: October 07, 2011, 01:58:28 PM »
It seems that MicroCore defaults to 80x30 on the console. I am trying in vain to change this. I would like it to be 81x27 for a CLI app I use. When I try to change it via "stty rows 27" it cuts off the bottom section of my screen which doesn't look right. When I try "stty cols 81" it breaks and does nothing.

Any ideas?

Try the vga=ask bootcode, or perhaps the full stty instead of the busybox version.

Thank you for the response!

Seeing as this image will be used by the not-so-technical, I would like this to not have choices. I have tried to change the stty version to no avail. I have also tried to use other vga modes. It seems as though rows or columns cannot be added via stty once the image is booted, only removed. Although when they are removed, the screen just blacks out those sections. That won't look right on a full screen CLI app.
