You need a VESA compatible video card and VESA support either loaded as a kernel module or compiled into your kernel. The first way: # kldload vesa.ko # vidcontrol VESA_132x60 The second way is to add to your kernel config file: options VESA and rebuild the kernel, then # vidcontrol VESA_132x60 will work. _________________________________________________________________________ Chris Smith American Group Administrators IT Department First National Administrators ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexander" <amour@bugs.elitsat.net> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Monday, February 26, 2001 3:42 PM Subject: vidcontrol > What hardware is required to change my console to 132x60 or 132x50 ? > Because I have changed a lot of video cards and I still can't swith to it > When I list the modes (vidcontrol -i mode) there are 132x25, 132x43, > 132x50, 132x60 but I can switch only to 132x25 and it is really ugly > If someone runs on bigger mode please answer ... > thanks > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
