I have a laptop with Xorg 7.5 and FreeBSD 8.2 both updated as of a few weeks ago. The laptop has an Intel Ironlake card that Xorg 7.5 apparently recognizes as such creating, what I assume is a correct, modline for it. However the default install selects the vesa drive which will only support a screen resolution of 1024x768. My question is: can a higher resolution be suported in 8.2? I assume there is a technical or implementation reason why vesa only does 1024x768 rather than configuring to the highest resolution the card supports. Doug
