Full Screen display in character mode.

[Peter Soderling]

This is an interesting discussion . . . my 770X has always sported the
'crappy-small-center-of-the-screen' look in text mode . . . I haven't been
able to figure out yet how to use full-screen mode outside of X.

I can't find any option like this in NT4. I don't now if there is anything
that can be changed manually in the BIOS config or not.
