Graphical tty consoles [Solved]

[Loosedogz]

Hi everybody,

I'm just as of late new to Sabayon, and I think it's great so would like to keep it. However, in order for me to be able to keep it, I need to be able to make the tty consoles just be completely text-based no graphics at all. Is this possible? A program I need to run every day takes up only a quarter of the screen on the tty consoles on Sabayon whereas normally it goes full screen on other distros. Could anybody think of any other answer to this?

Thanks in advance

Not sure if you mean to stop Sabayon loading Window manager so as to run only in Console mode
Try searching for tty consoles or runlevels

See if this works for you, while in GUI do
Ctrl+Alt+F1
login
run the program
to get back to GUI do Alt+F7

Hope it helps you
Joe

The text size and "graphics" you are referring to are due to the kernel arguments specified in /boot/grub/menu.lst. Update /boot/grub/menu.lst until everything is more to your liking.

I meant to respond to this sooner since you had all given me the courtesy, but I have been in the middle of a move, so nothing has been happening on this end.

Thank you both. I ended up editing /boot/grub/menu.lst to take out SPLASH and replacing VGA with 786. Everything looks great and works great. Thank you.
