I recall someone on the freebsd-mobile mailing list having a similar problem. What I told them to try was using options VESA in their kernel config or use the vesa.ko kernel module. I looked at it a little more closely and it appears that you might also need the SC_PIXEL_MODE option in your kernel config to get raster text mode to work. After you have that in your kernel then you can use vidcontrol to change the video mode to VESA_800x600 for 800x600 raster text mode. They seemed to be happy with the results. Try it out and let me know wether or not it was helpful. -- Eric Futch New York Connect.Net, Ltd. efutch@nyct.net Technical Support Staff http://www.nyct.net (212) 293-2620 "Bringing New York The Internet Access It Deserves" On Tue, 2 May 2000, Dan Moschuk wrote: > >Greetings, > >I've got myself a bright new shiny Toshiba 4260 laptop, with one small >problem.
