"capturing" console resolution from auto-detection for when KVM switched away?

["Dan B." <danb@kempt.net>]

What command shows the virtual console video mode (specifically,
the information needed to set it to that mode if it's in a different
mode)?


When I boot with my monitor connected (through a KVM), I end up with
high-resolution virtual consoles (67 rows by 240 columns).

However, when I boot with the KVM switched away, then since the
kernel/etc. can't auto-detect my monitor, I get lower resolutions
(48 rows by 128 columns, or 25 by 80 once).

Of course, I'd like to force it to use the higher resolution regardless
of which computer my KVM is switched to when this computer boots.


Thanks,
Daniel
