All my previous attempts to send this message failed
cause my ISP's SMTP server is blocked:

The following message to
<freebsd-questions at freebsd.org> was undeliverable.
The reason for the problem:
5.1.0 - Unknown address error 554-'Service
unavailable; Client host
+[212.123.84.81] blocked using bl.spamcop.net; Blocked
- see
+http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml?212.123.84.81'

So I'm sending this through yahoo's webmail service
(sorry if line wrap looks bad). The text of the
orignal reply was:

>From vidcontrol(1) manpage:

can also be cho-

It seems that you can't set 1024x768 VESA mode, only
800x600.
Furthermore, to achieve this you have to recompile
your kernel with the
SC_PIXEL_MODE option.

See section 'Video Mode Support', as suggested in the
above snippet.
