I have the full size (with pixel interpolation) virtual FreeBSD console
being so nice for elder people like me reuiring eye glasses now :-)

I have also running Redhat 7.2 running on that same Dell Inspiron
that has the native NVidia driver but it has the drawback that 
the console is a pixel true centered 640x480 pixel screen on the otherwise
1600x1200 display and no fun to work with. (this may have changed under
Linux again and I wasn't sure whether it was a configuration problem or
something else)

I will give the FreeBSD native driver project another try soon.
