Bash – How to change VGA mode after boot and login with ubuntu

bashunixunix-shell

Is there a way to change the screen resolution of the console after the system has been booted? I've seen plenty on setting the vga= line in the boot and in the grub config but I'd like to be able to change it after I login instead. This would be logging into the console, not through SSH.

in the old days of DOS I would have just used "mode" and changed it. What's the unix counterpart?
