Hiho! :-)
Recently, I updated to the latest version of 9-current and found out
that I cannot set my console resolution to 800x600 anymore.
If I try, it just goes blank or shows a few coloured, garbled lines in
the upper third of my monitor. Starting X11 blindly works, as does
switching to X11.
I'm suspecting the recent tty/xterm changes, but I am not sure.
uname -a:
FreeBSD xxx.yyy 9.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #17: Sat
Jan 23 14:58:47 CET 2010
sheep at ubm.mine.nu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SUBMARINE_SMP i386
Relevant part of my rc.conf that I used to set console to 800x600:
allscreens_flags="-g 100x37 VESA_800x600"
Relevant kernel option that I use:
# VESA support
options VESA
# raster display support for 800x600 resolution
options SC_PIXEL_MODE
Can anyone point me to a solution / is more info required?
Bye,
Marc
