Hi Fabio,
Sure edit grub.conf and add the text "vga=792" to the kernel line: (i.e.-> kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.3_FC2 ro root=LABEL=/ vga=792 )
If you want to syslog all of the emergency messages to tty6 you could do something like this:
Edit syslog.conf and change *.emerg /dev/tty6
(note there are two tabs between the *.emerg and /dev/tty6)
You can change any of the log levels like that.
Afterwards just HUP or restart syslog
HTH, Harry

Hello.
I'd like to login and to use shells at terminals tty1 to tty6, but before I can do it I need to solve two problems.
The first is about the size of characters (resolution?). They are too large. I recall that when I used Slackware and booted with LILO I could set that property (I am not sure now, but I think with "vga=nnn"). How can I do that in FC2 with GRUB?
The second problem is with console messages. I can't work with the above-mentioned terminals because they print a lot of console messages.
I know that I can write "dmesg -n 2", but I would like to regularly have them in tty12 to be read. How can I configure the log daemons at startup in order to send all critical messages (the ones with a level up to 'n'?) only to tty12 and to let the other terminals free from noise?
I thank you all. Ciao,
Fabio
