Thing is, I have my laptop here, it's running F8. That also has /etc/sysconfig/i18n pointing to latarcyrheb-sun16. But in console mode boot it stays in 80 columns right through to the shell prompt. It also has an option to "display details" in graphical boot wherein you can see the startup messages in a graphical window. The only difference may be, as you said, a new kernel video mode setting in F13. I wasn't prepared to build myself a new console font. However, I was prepared to change to whatever they used in F8, had it been something different. @Kwan Lowe: Thanks, as I said, passing a "vga" option through grub does not help. Any other ideas? Maybe I should parse inittab more closely in the two builds. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
