[SOLVED] TTY font and screen size not right after switch GUI- cons

I have a small problem that I need some help with.  I lost my ttys when in r/l 5.  So, I appended my krnl boot line w/ vga=773.  That gave me fb in tty.  But I saw that the top of the screen was about 30% down from the top of the actual screen.  To fix that, I (disabled kms) put radeon.modeset=0 on the krnl boot line.  Now, when go from the GUI back to the terminal, the line spacing is doubled and the bottom of the screen is invisible.
hardware in question:
IBM thinkpad T41 laptop
Radeon video (1024x768)
Pentium M 1.6GHz
512MB RAM
software in question:
krnl 2.6.33-ARCH (standard krnl)
GDM & XFCE4
I don't know what else to provide, so please let me know.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Use of the standard font for consol. will prevent this problem.

See if messing with the font DPI helps.

  • CS4 - Erase Pencil and Brush Size not right

    Boy...to explain this...
    I can have either PENCIL or BRUSH picked for ERASE. The nice circle appears as it did in CS3. It has a radius of x-units. I am on my layer...I click expecting everything inside the circumference to erase...well what is erased is x-units MINUS a few units. No matter what size BRUSH or PENCIL I use it doesn't erase out to the circumference...makes it impossible to do fine erasing like I could with CS3/2/CS. OPACITY is set to 100%. HARDNESS is 100%. I see no other adjustments. HELP!
    Thanks, --bill

    Bill, I meant Normal (old way, shows the greyest areas, almost to 50% opacityof the brush)
    And Full Size (newer way, shows total area affected by the brush, even areas less covered)
    You are not painting with a graphic tablet, right? You would have mentionned it, of course...

  • Brightness and volume keys not working after switch to Yosemite

    Once Yosemite was installed, the brightness (F1, F2) and volume (F10, F11, F12) keys on my macbook pro stopped working. I have already checked the System Pref>Keyboard and unchecked the "standard function" box, done an SMC and PRAM reset, to no avail. My sound in and out are both set to built-in. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I am using your software: CS6 InDesign Suiteon a PC using a Windows 7 operating system.
    Due to eyesight issues, I need to have the menu bars of programs in easy-to-read font and picture size.  Specifically, the menu bar across the top (File, Edit, View, etc.), and the menu bar on the left side with the graphic depiction of options.
    In earlier versions of Windows (e.g. XP), whenever I changed the screen resolution on my computer to a lesser resolution in order to show the link icons on my desktop in a larger, more readable size, all the software programs, including yours, appeared on my screen with the menu bars in the larger font size that I needed.
    However, in Windows 7, this is not the case.  Even though I have selected the lowest resolution, making the icons on my desktop extremely large, I cannot read the options across the top menu bar of your program, nor the pull-down menu items that they contain.  I cannot see the graphic depictions of options on the left side of the screen. They are all too small.  How can I make your program increase the size?

    CS6 is not high-DPI compatible/ enabled and that can't be changed. If you cannot6 make it work with your operating system means, then short of joining Creative Cloud and using newer versions there is nothing you can do.

  • How do I change the font and graphic size when using Firefox

    I have recently switched from Windows to Mac. When resizing the window in Mac the font and graphic size do not follow -- they stay the same size and only more "white space" is created by increasing the window size. How do I get the graphics and fonts to adapt to the new window size or at least make the whole image bigger. I am using Firefox 3.6.12 and Mac OS10.6.5. Thanks for the help.

    You can select to zoom the full page or only the text: View > Zoom > Zoom Text Only<br />
    Firefox 3 can remember the zoom level site specific.

  • Fonts and letter size on iCloud mail

    I want to change the font and letter size in my emails but every time I want to send a new email, it has gone back to the default setting so I have to change it for every email - a real nuisance.

  • Is adjustment to increase font and icon size possible

    I just loaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and find at startup the fonts and icons are so tiny they are nearly impossible for me to see.  Is there someway to increase the size of the screen image?

    you can increase the system's font and dpi size. Just go to Control Panel and then Display.
    There if you increase the dpi settings ,Organizer will respond accordingly. Also ,
    this is applicable just for Windows. However , on high dpi you will some layout issues ( known issue). Let me know if you  require any help.

    Hi,
    Yes, even I had lot of problems with IE7 finally i had to instal windows XP all over again with IE6. Please note that even if you downgrade from IE7 to IE6 without installing windows all over again you will still get problem. the best and only solution is to instal windows from scratch and please ensure that the CD that you have instals IE6 and not IE7 because the CD that I had  installed IE7 with XP therefore I had to get another windows XP with IE6 and had to create recovery disk before so that I do not have to run around for drivers later.
    Hope this helps

  • I have webcam and screen names not working on certain sites but OK on Explorer what can it be on Firefox.All worked up till Decembeber 2011 ...Thanks

    Question
    I have webcam not working and screen names not remembered on certain sites but OK on Internet Explorer.
    What can it be on Firefox?
    It's like cookies are turned off or something blocking.
    Even banking online is affected.
    All worked up until December 2011 ...Thanks

    Okay- this is getting more fun-- I just system restored to a
    month ago because my computer froze up 5 times withing 15 minutes
    earlier today. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox because I
    noticed it was listed twice in my add and remove programs area. Now
    I go to youtube to see if by some miracle the beta page is
    working-- well not only did it not work, but now, even if I disable
    Norton, it STILL doesn't work, where as before that did make the
    videos show up. I'd really appreciate some help...

    Hi,
    Scott Agnew,
    Please check if there are any updates pending for Suitcase fusion and Illustrator.
    You can also try resetting AI preferences.
    User Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator [#] Settings
    Rename Adobe Illustrator [#] Settings to old Adobe Illustrator [#] Settings
    User Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator/Version[#]
    Rename Version[#] to old Version[#]
    Access user library Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 and later
    Do you get any crash report. Look if it says anything for Wacom or extensis?

  • IW31/32/33 screen size reduced/shrinked after EHP upgrade

    Hi!
    After an ECC6 EHP upgrade our maintenance order screen's size has been reduced, for some unknown reason.
    Is there a way (customizing, setting,etc) to increase it's size back to the old size? At the moment the users have to scroll down to see the technical location or the equipment.
    Changing the screen's resolution or resizing the window help a bit, but not much...
    At the moment it seem like this (I highlighted with yellow the empty places, which was not empty before the upgrade):

  • When Safari is in full screen, the window slides off screen to the right after a short period of time.  How do I fix this?

    When Safari is in full screen, window slides off screen to the right after a few seconds.  Does not happen if Safari is not full screen.  How do I fix this?

    You are probably inadvertently swiping to another full-screen app. Are you using a magic trackpad? Does this happen without you touching anything?
