In my virtual machines, both Linux and FreeBSD, the TTY (controlled by agetty under Linux; can be opened by pressing Host+Fn where n=1,2,3,...) window size is tiny (720x400), compared to the resolution of my screen (1920x1080). Is there a way to adjust this? VirtualBox guest additions are installed, yet still a tiny TTY size.

  • If I understand correctly, you may be looking for the vga setting for the entry in your grub config. This question may be of some help: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/107479/…

  • Thanks, although that does have the limitation of not being easily applicable to FreeBSD systems, given this other, presently unanswered, question of mine - unix.stackexchange.com/questions/480829/….

  • Tried that and hwinfo --framebuffer returned nothing, so I cannot set a resolution for GRUB_GFXMODE.
