tty terminals not native resolution

I have a funny issue with Arch and the NVIDIA proprietary driver (which I do want to keep using). The tty terminals (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and such don't display at native resolution as they did under the Nouveau driver. Is this just inherent to the NVIDIA driver, or is there some setting to be changed?

Re: tty terminals not native resolution

Yes, this is how it is with nvidia proprietary drivers - they don't support KMS, while nouveau does.
Try https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uvesafb or https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gr … resolution
