Re: X on Wearables

I have been playing around with SVGATextMode and my M1.  Are there any
60 col. setups?  I can only find 80 then it jumps to 50.

Also on my M1, when I do use 50x15 the text starts in the towards the
middle of the screen, not the upper left hand corner.  I can't use the 
"arrows" to move the text to the upper left hand corner because the
display
will white out. 

If anyone knows how I could get a 60 point font in the upper left hand
corner 
of my M1 screen I would be very grateful.  A way to increase the font
size
throughout X would also be nice, or if someone could send me their
config file.

Thanks,

Ken

Check out SVGAtextmode.  It's a linux program which allows you to
change,
at the shell prompt, the font, font size, number of lines, etc of the
linux consoles.
