That's not quite what he was asking, if I read him correctly. On my 
AS200 with the ZLXp-E2 set to 1280x1024, the console font is a 
graphical rendering of around 14 point 80x34  with inches of black 
border (it used to be standard 9pt or so before about 6 months ago). 
He wants to use more of the screen/get better than 80x34.

Also, wouldn't startx be more appropriate than xdm? xdm is designed 
to be started automatically in rc, not as a user process by whoever 
logged into the console itself. Startx on the other hand is designed 
to be run from the command line.

Just my thoughts,
Mike
