Bzimage small terminal
-
Hi All,
i’ve updated my bzimage (kernel) to the latest one however the writing on terminal/display is really quite small! it does not use all the screen like the older kernels, i’ve tried modifying the bzimage but can’t see what option would be affecting this? any ideas?
cheers

btw i’m using the core.config

Probably the video drivers. If you use xconfig, you can search the config for specific items (I think).
-
you can and i can’t see anything obvious - it’s got to be the console driver support as it is the same on any device. but i can’t see anything to say use certain screensize, font etc…

KMS -> [url]https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KMS[/url] may be the culprit. Can you try disabling mode setting for the driver you are using. Either append a kernel argument for a scheduled task, or recompile the kernel with modesetting off for any drivers you plan on using.

this was indeed the culprit! thank you very very much, saved me a big headache!
