- It provides a nice large console (128 cols + 48 lines with 1024x768) without using tiny, unreadable fonts.
Now, I would really like to get back to an 80x24/26 cli console display, preferably centered on the new monitor. Is this possible? I would also like the font to be a bit larger, how is this done?
