Hi. You reported the above problem a while ago. FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE (aka RELENG_2_2) now has slightly improbed video mode handling code in the console driver (syscons.c 1.182.2.28, syscons.h 1.23.2.9). If you could try out the new driver and tell us if it works for your hardware, we would be grateful. Kazu
