Right, it does not. Didn't get it. <br><br>So you are now trying to change the "virtual terminal"? <br>I will not ask why. :)<br><br>Never thought of it. I have machines without X, but I manage them through ssh in a gnome-terminal (/dev/pts/N, a pseudo-terminal?)<br>
I think virtual terminal (VT) is a possible name for /dev/ttyN.<br><br>Don't really know, its too technical.<br><br>I think graphics on /dev/ttyN also don't have anything to do with grub. grub2 can enhance a selection screen, as you could with any simple programing language with a graphical extension. It does not provide a "graphical" terminal. <br>
<br>But not sure at all.<br><br>from <a href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Text-Terminal-HOWTO.html">http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Text-Terminal-HOWTO.html</a><br>"<font style="font-weight: normal;" size="2"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">For the case of text terminals there is no high-speed graphic display (or high resolution graphics) although they can often use graphic character sets to draw boxes, etc. This lack limits the software that may be used on it.</span></font>"<br>

</div></div>Thanks for you response but, sorry Luis, how will this fix my problem<br>
with the size of the font in the console (the one you get, for example,<br>
when you press CTRL-ALT-F3)?<br>
<br>
(What you state is for the terminal with which I now have no problems as<br>
I have been told how to make the terminal always open maximised.<br>
<br>
Confused by the terminology? So am I! :-) )<br>
