I'm trying to get a 90x43 display on my consol window.
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

window size:0x8000, origin:0x0
display start address (0, 0), scan line width:80
reserved:0x0
#>vidcontrol -i mode
