vtty screen resolution / font trouble

[das]

Hey Fedora Folks,

Machine is IBM/Lenovo T60p - LCD panel has
1400x1050 - ATI Mobility FireGL v5250 (all
correctly detected for X)

(I have this same problem with CentOS-5 so i
suspect RHEL 5 has the same issue)  

f7t3 + updates - init 5 startup is fine and
resolution is good.... but switching to a vtty
(e.g., Ctl-Alt-F2) and then not only is the font
too large but the 24x80 char text display doesn't
even show all the current lines on the screen.

In other words - fonts and resolution are whacked
- can't see prompt after 'ls -lR' because it's at
the bottom of the terminal which is off the
visible portion of the lcd display.

This problem is also visible at shutdown - so you
don't see what's currently being stopped / killed
just whatever has scrolled up into the visible
region of the lcd display.

would submit bug but don't know the app
responsible for vtty resolution mess-up....

thanks for the attention and suggestions 

das
