The console uses a real tty driver, not a pseudo tty driver. You could plug an old asr 33 teletype into the serial port and use it as a (printing) terminal. What is the window size then? You can use TIOCSWINSZ to set the window size to whatever you like. Then TIOCGWINSZ will return that value. Combine the two, and you can set a default if the values are zero. This can be done in your shell's start up scripts with the tput and stty programs.
lines=`tput lines` will get the current value and
stty rows $lines will set the value. For columns, use "cols" in both commands.

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. (4 Replies)

iscc(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual iscc(7)
NAME
iscc - serial communications interface
SYNOPSIS
controller iscc0 at isa0
DESCRIPTION
An onboard Zilog 8530 DUART provides AXPvme-based Single Board Computers with console (CON) and auxiliary (AUX) serial communications
ports. Both serial communications ports can operate at baud rates from B50 to B38400, excluding B134 (see tty(7)).
On AXPvme Single Board Computers configured with a graphics head as the system console, the CON serial communications port (/dev/tty01) is
available for use by application programs as an additional communications port.
In the absence of a graphics head, the CON serial communications port (/dev/console) becomes the system console. When used as the serial
system console, the CON serial communications port always operates at 9600 BPS, 8-bits, and no parity.
Regardless of system console, the AUX serial communications port (/dev/tty00) is always available for use by application programs.
RESTRICTIONS
Data communications equipment attached to the CON serial communications port must be set to 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity when configured as
the serial system console. The iscc terminal driver enforces this restriction.
No modem control is supported for either the CON or AUX serial communications ports.
FILES
console terminal local terminal local terminal
