I would like to run one or all of my console (virtual) terminals in (VGA) 43 
or 50 line mode. I have a VGA adapter that I know can do it, and I just want 
to know how, or if its even possible! :-)

I have tried changing the terminal definition in /dev/ttys, and I glanced 
through the pcvt man page, but I haven't had any luck so far.
I'd appreciate any advice or information,
Thanks,
 Jesse
