I've do that.
Doesn't work better.

Well, an other example.

I think 80x50 mode is ok, just fonts are too big. So i'm testing with
this config in my wscons.conf:


#	$NetBSD: wscons.conf,v 1.10 2001/12/19 09:36:36 augustss Exp $

# fonts to load
#	name	width	height	enc	file
font	ibm	-	16	ibm	/usr/share/wscons/fonts/vt220l.816

[...]

screen	4	80x50	vt100

I rebooting and i can see this error message
in dmesg:

vga_init_screen: no font
wsdisplay0: screen 4 added (80x50, vt100 emulation)

==
PS: If i keep the vt220l.808 font and keep the height to 8, when
rebooting, i haven't got error, but in console, the font is "cut in
half". Like a too big font on a good 80x50 term.

All suggestion are welcome ;)


PS: I'm also interesting to be contact by anyone having a thinkpad T
series, for exchanging tips. (XFree4.2 and ati radeon 7500....)

Have a nice day.
