in order to use 100x37 @ 800x600, besides adding VEGA in kernel, i also added this line before sc0: option SC_PIXEL_MODE without this line sc cannot work in graphic mode, which is needed to display so many characters on one single screen. I never tried 132x43. by the way, use vidcontrol -i mode you never find anything like 100x37 in it. instead, if your card support 100x37 @ 800x600, vidcontrol will show something like this: mode .... 800x600 8x16 that means it can display 8x16 font @ 800x600. 800/8=100; 600/8=37, so it means it can display 100 column and 37 lines. Please do not reply to this address, use zhangweiwu@private.21cn.com instead, as you can find in mail header. ----- Original Message ----- From: "winston" <duke99@email.ro> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 6:31 AM Subject: vidcontrol: 132x46 <- not working > hi, > > I tried to set my video mode other than 80x25, particulary a larger one, > e.g.132x43, but I couldnt succeed. > I loaded all three kinds of fonts (8x8, 8x14, 8x16), loaded the vesa module (via > kldload). > > vidcontrol -i mode doesnt show any video mode (text mode) with at least 100 > columns... > > Any ideas? > > thanx > > > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > Do you want a free e-mail for life ?
