It seems that every distribution has a termcap and terminfo that forces an 80x25 size on the console. For any recent release, these entries should be left blank since the information should come from the kernel.
I created a version of these at ftp.shell.portal.com in /pub/zeruch as /maintcap-1.3.tgz which is now obsolete, but contains a base entry for each type (and a way of generating conXxY automatically.
In any case, I don't like it when my scroll region os only 25 on a 160x100 mode and it is hard to reset since reset uses the termcap/terminfo as well.
