Screen resolution.

[OhLordy]

I've got a funny feeling that this problem is laughably simple but it's really annoying me. I'm running Redhat 8 and can set my screen resolution fine when I'm in Gnome. However when i go into bash (Ctrl-Fx) the resolution is still really low.
Also, sort of related (because it all comes down to me using VIM quite a lot) how can I permanently set tabstop=2 and ai on. I'm getting really annoyed with having to set them every time I open VIM but can't seem to find the config file.

Thanks in advance
Rob

See if any of these JL forum search results (based on titles only) for 'console resolution' (http://justlinux.com/forum/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=682399&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending) help. They should.

/home/yourusername/.vimrc is the file you need to add your options to. It's a hidden file. Just do 'vi ~/.vimrc' and it will pull it right up. If it isn't there already just make it, but be sure to put the dot in front of it.
