[PATCH TO TEST] VESA [1024x768] mode support for FreeBSD-CURRENT

[Didier Wiroth]

Hi,

I'm using freebsd 5.4-prerelease on my laptop. My laptop has an ati
mobility radeon 9600.
Unfortunately it has very poor console vesa support. SC_PIXEL_MODE does
not work, 90x60 is the highest resolution I can get for now.
It looks like I'm not the only one having this problem with ati
chipsets:

I saw this posting:

Unfortunately I'm not a programmer and have no ... to very poor patching
skills.
It looks to me, that in this posting(s) a "few" patches are grouped
together to enable vesa 1024x768.

1) Has someone applied this patches?
2) As the patch(es) is/are on the entire page, I don't know how to
separate them. Would someone mail me as an attachment the different
patches and tell me how I should apply them:
for example, mail me patch1, patch2, patch3
and the explanation how to patch them:
cd /usr/src
patch < ~/patch1
patch < ~/patch2 ...etc

In advance, many thanks!
Didier
