Hi,
  I am new to FreeBSD, and recently installed FreeBSD 5.1 on my laptop. Eve=
rythings working fine, but the console covers only about 50% of the scree=
n area (an inner rectagular area) . I configured X and it covers the scre=
en properly (1024X768).
  I would like to configure the console to cover the entire screen too.
  Any pointers????
Thanks,
Nikhil
thanks,
Nikhil.
