As it stands in that case the original screen geometry continues being used to validate further VT resizing. Consequently when the video adapter is firstly reprogrammed from the original say 80x25 text mode using a 9x16 character cell (720x400 pixel resolution) to say 80x37 text mode and the same character cell (720x592 pixel resolution), and secondly the CRTC character cell updated to 9x8 (by loading a suitable font with the KD_FONT_OP_SET request of the KDFONTOP ioctl), the VT geometry does not get further updated from 80x37 and only upper half of the screen is used for the VT, with the lower half showing rubbish corresponding to whatever happens to be there in the video memory that maps to that part of the screen. Of course the proportions change according to text mode geometries and font sizes chosen. Address the problem then, by updating the text mode geometry defaults rather than checking against them whenever the VT is resized via a user ioctl. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
