Problem #1
How can I stop the reduction in the console font size???
Evidently the framebuffer setting isn't doing it...
Problem #2
How can I stop the boot process from clearing the screen on tty1???
For #1: For the resolution, you probably have some high resolution screen and KMS is now enabled by default. So check here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KMS
That does appear to be the issue. For me the quick fix was to disable KMS from grub by adding "radeon.modeset=0" to the kernel options...
For #2: Just edit /et/inittab and comment out the rule with tty1
Yup, that works... I can deal with only having 5 ttys available. AND with having to explicitly choose one before I login. Thanks! -- | --- ___ | <0> <-> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ~\___/~ <<jtwdyp@ttlc.net>>
