I have a CentOS v7.2 virtual machine.
How do I tell what the available resolutions are that I can change too?
Then, how do I go about changing between the available resolutions to one that is easier on the eyes?

I forgot to mention that I'm running a minimal CentOS installation, meaning I only have the terminal to work with, no GUI. – wesg Dec 17 '16 at 16:40

My desire is to use the entire "or majority" width and height of my monitor. – wesg Dec 17 '16 at 16:41
In case anyone else stumbles upon this post. I'm using VMware workstation to run this VM. My solutions:
- I shutdown the guest
- I enabled VNC connections to my VM
- I downloaded the VNC Viewer
- I connect to the guest with value localhost:0
- Upper-left corner of VNC Viewer, right-click, Properties option, Options tab, scale to fit window option
Other change that helped was modifying font size:
- Fonts are at /lib/kbd/consolefonts
- In terminal run: setfont some-filename-in-consolefonts
