Hi All!

Is there any way to have my console set up to 132 columns and/or 43
lines or sth. like that?

Yes; try either SVGATextMode
(ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/console/ or perhaps in your
distribution) or, in recent kernels, a framebuffer console and fbset
(though when I did this it was somewhat difficult to set up).
