I running Manjaro Linux (21.2) with KDE. I have a large ultra-wide screen monitor with ideal resolution of 3400x1440.
KDE and Konsole appear to be running this resolution fine but when I switch to tty2(-6) terminals I am stuck with 45 Lines which is far too few for the monitor. I expect somewhere between 60-80 would be ideal.
If I run
inxi -Fx
In KDE (Konsole)
>Graphics: Device-1: Intel RocketLake-S GT1 [UHD Graphics 750] vendor: Micro-Star MSI driver: i915 v: kernel bus-ID: 00:02.0

In tty2

I have checked the GRUB settings but they seem fine, I enable the GRUB menu and went into the loader. GRUB Loader displays very nicely in 3440x1400.
I also tried resizecons -lines 60
but got this error:
>invalid columns number 0
Attempting resizecons 215x60
gives this error:
> cannot find videomode file 215x60
I could go down the path of trying to find videomode files?
What is the correct way to do this?
I would like to work on the terminal where possible, when setup with a high resolution, the solid black background and crisp font is so much better than being in the DE.
