[EN] Change terminal resolution

[LRC1962]

I have a 24in LCD screen, but when I am in terminal mode, the font is so big I only get about 25 lines of print and if there is an error message I only get about half of it because it gets truncated (shortened).
I do not think it is because of font selection, because the pixel size seems to be very large,  I think it is because of resolution. Is there any way of changing the resolution up to about 1280 x 800?

And your graphics card is?

You can set the resolution in /etc/default/grub.
add

Code: [Select]

GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x800
to it and do update-grub.
But make sure your hardware gives you that resolution for the framebuffer.
