I'm not sure this works under muLinux (it should be possible though), but in
general you can use svgatextmode at
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/console/
(should be part of most distributions anyway) to manipulate the textmode Linux
uses. You can also compile a kernel with framebuffer support, then you can
choose the display characteristics through kernel boot parameters (see the
kernel docs in /usr/src/linux/Documentation for details). Either of those should
do it, but svgatextmode is probably easier, since it works with any kernel.
> Under X11 it can be configured by the geometry parameter of the applications,
It would probably be better to just make X use a smaller resolution, by telling
it not to use a virtual resolution greater than the actual display resolution
(the virtual resolution, i.e. size of the virtual, scrollable desktop, is set
by the parameter
Virtual
in the XF86Config).
