   Maybe you booted Linux in console mode without a graphics desktop.   
   Then the graphics card is still in character mode displaying 80x24.   
      
   But the full screen mode in Windows doesn't switch the mode of the   
   graphics card, but just displays a full screen Window in the   
   graphics resolution of Windows (Win9x still switched to character   
   mode). I think, it is still possible to boot Windows in console   
   mode. But if you really want 80x24, don't switch to full screen mode   
   but enter 80x24 in the size field and change the font size to a value   
   so that the cmd window has nearly the size of the screen.

   I think time is to precious to waist it. DOS was something   
   you could understand at a lower level. But a modern OS is something   
   you use if it works, or reinstall it if it no longer works, but   
   I think it is not possible to really understand it.

   A phone to watch videos? Would recommend a big flat screen on the   
   wall or a video projector.
