The fbset path doesn't resize the vc rows and columns. I use a patch to get things to work. You have to be careful as there is potential for an infinite loop if the calculation between xres-yres and cols-rows is off. I can't post the patch just yet as things have changed in fbcon.c in 2.6.7 so I need to update and test it. John |
