My tty1–tty6 consoles of Debian bullseye run currently 160×45 text mode (measured manually). I'd like to have a bit more vertical text lines, say, 50, 55, or 60 on the tty consoles. Is it possible? If so, how to set up such a text mode at start up? I tried, e.g., the vga=893 and vga=842 kernel line options (of course, only one option at a time), without any noticeable effect. My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX1660 Ti (supporting up to 7680×4320@120 Hz), my monitor is Philips 275B1H/00 (supporting up to 2560×1440@75 Hz), and both are connected via a Lindy DVI-D Dual Link cable (supporting up to 2560×1600@60 Hz).
