Hi,

 

I have a 23 inch monitor connected to my unraid and fonts are so big, because of low resolution.

 

Do you know how to change console resolution so it would boot into bigger ?

 

Thx

I just checked mine and it is booting up in 80x25 (or 80X24) character mode.  This is the default resolution for the bash shell that unRAID uses as its interface.  Since most folk use it very seldom (and, if they are using it on a regular basis, they are Linux/UNIX gurus), that is only resolution available. I will also point out that using this resolution can take up the smallest possible memory footprint of any display that can be used (<2K bytes!). 

 

As far as I know there is not way to easily change it to another resolution.

The console resolution (text mode) has always been configurable, and I've always changed mine to 80x60, don't know how others can stand 80x25.  I've mentioned it in various places, but have never seen any interest.  I think every syslog I've ever seen has it at 80x25 (except mine).

 

For 80x60, just add vga=6 to the append line of your syslinux.cfg, see the second item under Go file items (it's not a go file item though!).  Don't try the setterm stuff, it seems to have stopped working in recent versions, perhaps a conflict, and I haven't figured it out.  Online, you can find docs on many other vga= settings, but they are different for each graphics adapter and BIOS, so you have to use trial and error to find something better than vga=6, on your system.  For experimentation, you can use vga=ask, and I believe it will ask you at boot time for the value.  That will let you test values, but be ready to reboot over and over!

 

Now if you are asking about the new boot GUI resolution, I don't yet know how that is changed.

I've had mine like that for a long time. No doubt I got it from you.
