CPU & Memory How to change the window size of Linux console in VMware?

The console's window size in VMware is too small. How can I change it?

I mean changing the window size of pseudo terminals such as tty1, not the kde desktop.

I think it may be connected to resolution.But changing resolution in the menu.lst of grub doesn't work.

Any ideas?
Thanks.
