Hello, I don't like much to use allscreens_flags to set my tty resolution because it's done at the end of /etc/rc process. I know we can edit the hint.sc.0.flags in /boot/device.hints to set the resolution at the earliest stage. I want to use the 1366x768 mode : # vidcontrol -i mode [... snip ...] 496 (0x1f0) 0x0000001f G 1366x768x32 D 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0xc0000000 4128k To use this mode I should write hint.sc.0.flags="0x1f00180" where 80 means VESA mode following the sc(4) manpage. It seems that my resolution is like 1024x768 when I bootup and not the one I want. However when I use vidcontrol MODE_496 after boot it works pretty well. Is there something wrong on my line ? Cheers, -- David Demelier
