[techtalk] Changing the Console Video Mode

[GJS]

I just got a 17" monitor and the added size makes everything in
console mode look grainy. I'd like to reduce the video size to
something similar to what I had on the old 15" monitor. I've
gone through various man pages but can't find the information.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

As an aside, I've had the monitor for a couple of days now and
my eyes are having a hard time adusting to it. I didn't think a
couple of extra inches would make this much difference. (I have
a feeling my bifocals may be part of the problem. They were fine
with the old monitor, but my viewing angle has changed.) Did
anyone else have an adjustment problem when they went to a
bigger monitor?
