I was advised to CVSup and rebuild the syscons stuff; well, I did a 'make world' last night. The problem seems to have gotten worse; if I issue a vidcontrol VGA_80x60 as a normal user, my PC resets completely, without warning, without syncing the disks or anything. In DOS, I can set 80x50 textmode properly with this assembly snippet: mov ax, 1112h / xor bl, bl / int 10h >How-To-Repeat: 'vidcontrol VGA_80x60' at any time; resets completely >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
