I can see there's "sc" and "vt" in the kernel but have never successfully set a console screen font going by the handbook. In addition to the font being smaller, it'd be good to have it less blocky and for the usable screen to go to the full extent of the (1920*1080) screen. Right now there's like a 3cm unusable margin all round. The kernel is unmodified GENERIC stable/14-n265022 In the handbook, 3.2.3. Changing Console Video Modes suggests: # kldload vesa # vidcontrol -i mode returns "vidcontrol: getting active vty: Inappropriate ioctl for device" man vt states there's a sysctl tunable "hw.vga.textmode" but that appears absent: # sysctl hw.vga.textmode sysctl: unknown oid 'hw.vga.textmode' [1] The graphics environment works fine (nvidia-driver-470). The reason for wanting the console setup is for a distraction-free environment --
