I don't know about how to control the fonts with the vesafb, but if
you spend your time at the console, have no problems reading small
fonts and like to have large window - then I guess COLUMNS=3D175
LINES=3D65 is good enough (see before - 1400x1050)... The scroll is slow
on my laptop, though, and the colours look skewed - what I would
expect to see as white appears brownish.
