System and Network configuration • Console resolution in Virtualbox

$

During some other test I removed vga=795 and suddently the screen started with resolution 1280x800. I remove also the other lines:

Code:

GRUB_GFXMODE=1600x1200GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
and the console keep appearing now 1280x800 o_O

Code:

dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
this allows to setup only the font size, not the resolution

Code:

fbset -i
now it shows this:

Code:

mode "1280x800"    geometry 1280 800 1280 800 32    timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0    accel true    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,0/0endmodeFrame buffer device information:    Name        : vmwgfxdrmfb    Address     : 0    Size        : 4096000    Type        : PACKED PIXELS    Visual      : TRUECOLOR    XPanStep    : 1    YPanStep    : 1    YWrapStep   : 0    LineLength  : 5120    Accelerator : No

Code:

fbset -xres 1600 -yres 1200
It gives error:

Code:

ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument
It works only to reduce the screen size, example:

Code:

fbse -xres 800 -yres 600
but after it if I try to return to the previous resolution 1280x800 gives again the same error. At restart I get back to 1280x800.

I think I'll forget all this and use Putty instead, nore flexible.

Thanks everyone :)
