Any FreeBSD developers out there working on a Framebuffer driver
which provides modern high resolution modes (including widescreen)
for the system console?
Amd64 platform currently has no options to change the primitive 80x25
mode text console as VESA is not supported.
Mac OS X uses native display resolutions as soon as the machine is
powered on.
Linux supports a Framebuffer driver for native LCD resolution at the
console
OpenSolaris uses a Framebuffer driver which immediately detects
screen resolution.
