Subject:   VESA 132x43 mode on ATI Mach64
Message-ID:  <20000713112112.A35581@ldc.ro>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I want to use that mode (I have been using it in Linux, before I
switched to FreeBSD), on an ATI Mach 64.  Before, I used to specify a
'vga=0x133' parameter to LILO.  Is there any way to specify this to
the kernel, or to convince vidcontrol to show me mode 0x133 as
available and with text size 132x43? (and also use it)

I am using FreeBSD 4-STABLE, cvsupped about two days ago.

Output from vidcontrol:

# vidcontrol -i mode
    mode#     flags   type    size       font      window      linear buffer
