[An irritation rather than a significant defect.]
I’ve upgraded a Leap 15.6 machine to 16.0 and switched to LXQT+SDDM.
One minor defect (after post-upgrade fix-ups) left (that I’ve noticed): the syslog console (CTL+ALT+F10) is very narrow (80 characters, I think) and short (20-30 lines long) in the top left corner of a 2K screen.
The other VTTYs I’ve tried are working and full screen. X11 is starting and graphical login is fine.
How can I correct this so it’s using the full screen, as it was before upgrade?
I couldn’t find any TTY / Console config files.
It looks like no fb driver is running. No /dev/fb/* devices are present.
Proprietary NVIDIA driver in use - the same as before upgrade.
What information will help locate or fix the problem?
