Hello List,
[On FreeBSD 7.1-BETA2, i386.]
1) How can I change the number of rowsxcols of the console? I'd like
to use the maximum rows/cols available for the 1440x900 screen.
2) How can these settings be made default (takes effect at boot)?
IOW, what is the equivalent of the "vga=0x365" Linux kernel option?
3) How I can set the scrollback buffer size (if that's the name) of
the console -- the equivalent of Shift+{PgUp,PgDn} on Linux?
I played around with vidcontrol but was not quite successful.
Thanks in advance.
-James.
