If you are referring to text mode, and you have a modern video card with a
VESA 3.0 bios, you can probably load the VESA module and use 'vidcontrol' to
select a higher text mode.

Normal text mode is usually 80x25 chars. Other options include:

80x43
80x50
80x60
132x43
132x50
132x60

Note that you need to load additional console font files for these higher
modes. 'man vidcontrol' will tell you all you need to know.
