[ Let me try again, this time hitting Post vs |fmt :-) ]
For ages I've run diskless terminals under Parallels, and aux/vga would
quite cheerfully resize the Parallels window to match anything I told it.
Recently I had to migrate from Parallels to Fusion. Resizing doesn't
work any more. Furthermore, I'm buggered if I can programmatically
figure out what combinations of screen size+depth will work in Fusion
without making the terminal instance panic. The list archives and the
wiki are absent of advice. Looking at the aux/vga output I also can't
parse a set of likely screen dimension values. Has anyone else
successfully wrestled with this?
