This is another follow up:

I think that vty0 is running @ 1920x1200 but not honoring kern.kms_columns=-1 as honored by all other vty's.
In other words: it seems font scaling is going on on vty0 regardless my setting giving me the impression that is running @ 640x480 or similar. Could it be the case on 5.9.# ?
