Re: fbset for all ttys? again



Thanks Cristian, your solution seems to work great.

Only one thing left needs to be solved.... Login vts now have the
resolution I set in this init script. But even though syslogd is started
earlier, and I also did an "echo "" > /dev/tty24" in the fb init script,
tty24 (which is my syslog vt) does not want to change it resolution, and
changing back and forth between a login vt and the syslog vt still
forces a resolution change.

Any idea to make all vts change resolution, not only login vts, but all
vts I use?
