HEY! there's two behaviour here!

one its made the fonts more bigger at the framebuffer console and other are
made the resolution without space!

1) with max resolution but fonts bigger will consume more because it will
need more RAM for the video buffer and cpu processing, but will be more
controlled
2) with a specific lower resolution (pass MENU RESOLUTION <width> <height>
at extlinux.conf) will run more optimized due less consuption

I didn&#39;t try this myself, but AFAIK you have to set the framebuffer res=
olution<br>
in the bootloader. First, check out the supported resolutions using hwinfo:=
<br>
<br>
```<br>
$ apk add hwinfo<br>
$ hwinfo --framebuffer<br>
```<br>
<br>
Then you can set the desired resolution in the bootloader. If you use sysli=
nux,<br>
you achieve that by editing the bootloader configuration (/boot/extlinux.co=
nf):<br>
<br>
```<br>
MENU RESOLUTION &lt;width&gt; &lt;height&gt;<br>
```<br>
