I tried everything I could think of but can not get any displays except 80x25 and 80x30. I tried: vidcontrol 90x42 and vidcontrol just comes back with some help. Here is what I've done so far. Any one know what I'm doing wrong? BTW I'm curious why no VESA modes are listed below in the "-i mode" output. I rebuilt a new kernel with: options VGA_WIDTH90 options VESA I added these lines to my /etc/rc.conf: font8x8="cp437-8x8.fnt" font8x14="cp437-8x14.fnt" font8x16="cp437-8x16.fnt" After a reboot (sorry, old habits are hard to break) vidcontrol reports: #>vidcontrol -i adapter fb0: vga0, type:VESA VGA (5), flags:0x700ff initial mode:24, current mode:32, BIOS mode:3 frame buffer window:0xb8000, buffer size:0x8000 window size:0x8000, origin:0x0 display start address (0, 0), scan line width:80 reserved:0x0 #>vidcontrol -i mode mode# flags type size font window linear buffer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0 (0x000) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 1 (0x001) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 2 (0x002) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 3 (0x003) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 4 (0x004) 0x00000003 G 320x200x2 1 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 5 (0x005) 0x00000003 G 320x200x2 1 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 6 (0x006) 0x00000003 G 640x200x1 1 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 13 (0x00d) 0x00000003 G 320x200x4 4 8x8 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k 14 (0x00e) 0x00000003 G 640x200x4 4 8x8 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k 16 (0x010) 0x00000003 G 640x350x2 2 8x14 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 128k 18 (0x012) 0x00000003 G 640x350x4 4 8x14 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k 19 (0x013) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 20 (0x014) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 21 (0x015) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 22 (0x016) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 23 (0x017) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 24 (0x018) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 26 (0x01a) 0x00000003 G 640x480x4 4 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k 27 (0x01b) 0x00000003 G 640x480x4 4 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k 28 (0x01c) 0x00000003 G 320x200x8 1 8x8 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 64k 30 (0x01e) 0x00000001 T 80x50 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 32 (0x020) 0x00000001 T 80x30 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 34 (0x022) 0x00000001 T 80x60 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 37 (0x025) 0x00000003 G 320x240x8 4 8x8 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k 40 (0x028) 0x00000001 T 90x25 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 42 (0x02a) 0x00000001 T 90x30 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 44 (0x02c) 0x00000001 T 90x43 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 45 (0x02d) 0x00000000 T 90x43 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 46 (0x02e) 0x00000001 T 90x50 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 48 (0x030) 0x00000001 T 90x60 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 112 (0x070) 0x00000000 T 80x43 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 113 (0x071) 0x00000001 T 80x43 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k -=[cwa]=- FreeBSD 4.2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
