how to 320x200 resolution in Console only Linux?

Post by pagetelegram »

Hi,

I am preparing a teleprompter program and need the text really big on the screen to see at a reasonable distance. Using a raspberry pi I fashioned the following program:

Issue is screen 13 or screen 1 seems to do nothing in a console only environment. Wondering about my options.

Thank you

Does any other screen mode work?

I also remind you that in console only mode graphic is possible only if the console is based on framebuffer

Good point...so I need to address settings with frame buffer. I vaguely recall doing that once before.
