Is there a way to enable more >modes? I would like to be running something like 132x60. 132 column modes are available only if the video card supports the VESA BIOS extention. And even if your card supports it, currently we have no means to run the i386 BIOS code on Alphas ;-< >Also tried enableing vesa support to the kernel but config complained, I >guess this isnt supported on the Alpha. Unfortunately VESA modes are not supported on Alphas. Kazu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
