Re: smaller fonts on boot
A small suggestion about framebuffer in console mode:
1) There is a bug open if you compile the kernel (2.6.9+)yourself; you have to
comple it as a module, and then load the module via initrd; if you use the
"make-kpkg --initrd ...." it is sufficient to add
vesafb
fbcon
to the /etc/mkinitrd/modules file
2) Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/lrmi/ and download the tar.gz,
unpack, make (no package for debian, sorry). Then, as root, run the vbetest.
The resulting listed modes can be used with your card, if the monitor
supports it. Just convert to hex, add 200 (hex), and the final result is the
value for the "vga=..." in grub. Just use the 0xnnn notation ("0x" followed
by hex value of the mode).
That's all, folks
