I'm using a matrox g550 (agp with 64mb).
i'm loading the vesa module at startup via loader.conf.
I get very poor resolution in consoles with vidcontrol.
I didn't compile the vga_width90 as I didn't want these resolutions.
With module vesa loaded the only modes I'm able to set are:

1) While googling I found users getting 132x60 for example, is that possible with a matrox card?
2) Which card for example support a 132x60 resolution?
3) Could you recommand me a dual-headed card (supported by xorg and freebsd) that also support console resolutions of 132x60?
thanks a lot
