How can be changed the tty resolution?

I’m a beginner in openSuSE an I installed the Leap 42.1.

On the tty (Ctrl+Alt+Fn, or Alt+Fn) the letters are too small. I presume that the detected resolution is too high. In my research I found something about /etc/default/grub and the grub or grub2 command. In the installed version both file and the command are not available. **What can I do to reduce the tty resolution, or something else in order to get larger letters? **

I mention that I changed the KDE desktop resolution, but this doesn’t affect the tty resolution.

Which videocard and videodriver do you use?

The graphic card is EAX1650PRO with Radeon X1650PRO. Tha card has a DVI and VGA output. Though I’m using the VGA output in the System Setup it shows DVI-0 Monitor.

How can I find out the video driver it’s using?

If you do not know, you are probably using standard in-kernel KMS driver. It attempts to use highest possible resolution monitor claims to support. Try adding kernel option video=1024x768x32 (pick your choice); does it help?

Last I checked,
Grub2 loads the VESA driver by default nowadays.

If that is too much, you can go into the Grub2 configuration and configure to mount the VGA driver instead.
Or, I suspect you should also be able to configure the VESA resolution to be less than the max supported by your hardware (which generally is what you will see by default).
