Thank you for your answer Gilbert. I find that the problem is in a bug in kernel or in my motherboard because when I use vidcontrol to change the resolution with only one module it works fine... but when I put the second module in the motherboard... it fails I notify to FreeBSD the problem writing it in problem reports >> # Options to change console resolution >> options VESA >> options SC_PIXEL_MODE > > I have done the same on my laptop.
