Feature request: Support self-adapting framebuffer console on GNU/Linux guest

[林博仁(Buo-Ren Lin)]

Currently on GNU/Linux guest vesafb will be used in the TTY console, AFAIK it is possible to manually set custom screen resolutions for VM to use but it will be better if there's a framebuffer driver that can self-adapt the size of the TTY console to the size of VM window(just as on X Window System)

Please consider it if it's possible, thanks in advance!

Very low priority.

I strongly doubt that this is possible (I did not see a way to do it by writing a custom frame-buffer driver, so I doubt it would work with vesafb either). In any case, I can't see anyone internal looking at this in the foreseeable future (we might find time to look at a contribution).
