How to change resolution of virtual terminal?
How can I rescale the Linux virtual terminals (ctrl + alt + {f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, f6}), so that a high-resolution display doesn't make the letters too small?


I'd like to use 1080 or even 720 resolution in virtual terminals (and only there; I want native resolution in ctrl + alt + f7).

If that matters, I use Debian Sid.
