Problems using 320x240 screen size

Forums:

I have a small screen that looks really good using a 320x240 console (i.e. grub kernel option "vga=782").

Unfortunately, MOC balks at this console size, saying "Screen size too small after resize". Is this an inherent limitation of MOC or a hardcoded assumption of 640x480 screen size?

For reference, system is:

$ mocp --version
moc 2.4.1 Build: Nov 10 2006 01:51:36
Compiled with: OSS ALSA JACK DEBUG internet streams resample

$ uname -a
Linux kurt 2.6.20-16-server #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:26:23 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

any suggestions?
thanks!

MOC requires terminal of at least 79x7 characters big because this is required to draw all elements of the interface. If you want to run it on a smaller terminal it would require to hack the sources to remove some elements (information at the botton of the screen).

had this issue. I have Nokia N95 with putty onboard. Fixed by using the smallest font in the settings of putty. Works brilliant! And everything is visible. The only thing left is to modify keymap a little bit
