Full Screen Text Mode Questions (Redhat 5.2)



These are "dummy" questions, unfortunately not as obvious in Linux as in
OS/2. In each case I have
tried to RTFM, but finding the right FM has been formidable to say the
least ...

1. How do you get correct display of text mode graphics characters? They
are displayed as if they have
been "high bit stripped", for example 0xC4 displays as 0x64 and so on.
Incidentally, echo TERM says linux.

2. In text mode, how do you switch to different ega modes like 43/50
lines (Something like MODE in
OS/2 or DOS)?

More dummy questions to come ...
