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)

Tk_InitConsoleChannels(3) Tk Library Procedures Tk_InitConsoleChannels(3)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tk_InitConsoleChannels - Install the console channels as standard channels
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
Tk_InitConsoleChannels(interp)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter in which the console channels are created.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Tk_InitConsoleChannels is invoked to create a set of console channels and install them as the standard channels. All I/O on these channels
will be discarded until Tk_CreateConsoleWindow is called to attach the console to a text widget.
This function is for use by shell applications based on Tk, like wish, on platforms which have no standard channels in graphical mode, like
Win32.
The interp argument is the interpreter in which to create and install the console channels.
NOTE: If this function is used it has to be called before the first call to Tcl_RegisterChannel, directly, or indirectly through other
channel functions. Because otherwise the standard channels will be already initialized to the system defaults, which will be nonsensical
for the case Tk_InitConsoleChannels is for.
