The vesa driver uses 1024X768 while the monitor is capable of doing 1680x1050. Observed here as well: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nv/+bug/5801 Using the nv driver is no option because it freezes my system and I have to turn the power down to start booting the system again. Am I in a problematic situation now because: 1) Vesa isn't capable of using higher resolutions? 2) I can use NV because the driver isn't ok on my amd64 system 3) Nvidia doesn't provide a FreeBSD version of their nvidia driver on AMD64 based systems?
