 Some thoughts...
 The sparc prom will expect a screen resolution of 1152x864 (just under
 1M pixels with a same aspect ratio) - which is what sun frame buffers
 almost always were (going back to the sun3 even).
 
 Your 15" LCD monitor is probably 1024x768, the font that gives 80 columns
 with 1152 pixels gives fewer columns with only 1024 pixels....
