DELL# /usr/local/bin/915resolution 58 1280 1024
Intel 800/900 Series VBIOS Hack : version 0.5.2
Chipset: 945GM
BIOS: TYPE 1
Mode Table Offset: $C0000 + $269
Mode Table Entries: 36
Patch mode 58 to resolution 1280x1024 complete
I also set
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 32
Modes "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
But once I rebooted the laptop I lose it, and I have to do it again
after the FreeBSD starts
Is there a work around for this issue?
