Please point out links for changing display mode on the fly and permanent

As far as I know, there isn't any way to do this. The best you
can do is make the font it uses bigger. See:

I am able to get an 80 x 25 mode in dosbox on fedora 15 to run my dos dBase
program in that mode. Now I have used harbour to compile same code in linux.
However, upon running it runs in top left hand 30% of the screen.

Isn't there any way to switch the display adapter back to VGA 80 x 25 mode?
Fonts are used in graphic rendering mode. I am talking of enabling ascii vga
text mode of the display adapter, to render non graphic ascii text, just
like I get when starting linux, before the adapter changes to high
resolution mode.

Maybe changing to lower resolution when going to full screen text console
and changing back to high resolution when changing to kde display? or
whatever the dosbox does to render 80x25 display?

Thanks.
Sanjay.
