Console size and scrollback buffer.

[Wojciech Puchar]

i think it can be done somehow, but isn't the best to run X on your card 
with 1440x900 resolution and run one (or several) xterms full screen.

that's what i do with fvwm2 window manager and "slightly" modified config.

no window frames, no titlebars, buttons etc, 100% screen for program, not 
only xterm
