Currently I use the allscreens_flags in rc.conf that only applies the setting at the end of the boot process. I was wondering if there is a option in LINT or a device.hints option that can make this feature possible. I highly recommend this feature. I think the FreeBSD system would be more attractive with the higher video modes during the entire boot process. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
