I use the Debian OS on my laptopAcer TravelMate 3043.
Earlier I used Debian Lenny AMD64, which I have upgraded to Debian
Squeeze AMD64.

I had no such problem with Debian Lenny, but after upgrading to Squeeze
the fonts in my console became very small.
I tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" and "sudo dpkg-reconfigure
console-cyrillic" but I have had no any success. (Under Lenny I had
configured my console fonts such method without any problems).
I tried to set "vga=792" into my /boot/grub.cfg but have no success too.

I had similar problem in squeeze, but i solved this just run "sudo
dpkg-reconfigure console-setup"

Encoding to use on the console \\UTF-8
Character set to support \\ # Latin1 and Latin5 - western
Europe and Turkic languages
Font for the console \\VGA (TerminusBold or TerminusBoldVGA may
be better)
Font size \\16

I come across this problem too , but the size of chars is still small .
And I was wondering what's the default configuration of lenny ? anyone knows?
Hope this can help you!


How I can resolve the above problem?

I tried many fonts and their sizes but the problem didn't disapper.

Did you try reboot your computer after run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure
console-setup"？

Yeah


And the space about 1/5 of my display (on the right) under console
aren't workable.
It seems to me that probably it is a problem with settings of vga.

you should edit /etc/default/grub to change vga settings but not
/boot/grub.cfg if
your current installed is grub2.

I did it but had no needed result. Probably I chose wrong vga-settings?
I have 1024x768 screen (under X11; maybe under console I need to use
another one?) and 32-bit videocard/
$lspci

00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

I tried to use "vga=792" and "vga=791" but have no result.

But when my system starting, before the messgae "console: switching to
colour frame buffer device 128x48", I have normal fonts as in Lenny and
full screen. Beginning this message fonts and workable screen space size
are maked smaller.
