Using 386bsd 0.1 with the patchkits installed:

I've been looking through the source of codrv in the kernel source tree,
trying to find out if its possible to have the multiple console windows
(using codrv) in 80x50 character mode - this would be a little nicer than
the existing 80x25 mode :)  (I'm using a 19" monitor, so 80x25 makes me
feel like I'm back on a VIC-20!)

The machine is a 386sx with stock standard VGA (256k).

Cheers 

Leigh
