Koszek >Release: 9.0-BETA2 >Organization: FreeBSD Project >Environment: 9.0-BETA2/i386 from the latest test release >Description: In my private opinion we should seriously consider enabling SC_PIXEL_MODE by default in FreeBSD or, in the worst case, making it a tunable. Not being able to see 'ps axuw' (on 80x25 console) is inconvenient. For test setups / working in VirtualBox/VMWare VMs, it would be beneficial to be able to increase the resolution just a bit to get something functional. In the ideal case I could get a system where vidcontrol(8) can change a graphics modes. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
