It seems that 11-stable does not find the correct dimensions automatically. The kernel apparently assumes the display to be far larger than it actually is and a lot of text simply disappears below the lower edge of the screen. So, I assumed there might be some method to tell the kernel the default dimensions to use when it fails to confirm the actual values from the display device itself. Now I would like to check whether I am interpreting things correctly. Apparently there is kernel MIB variable for this purpose on 12.x series (kern.vt.fb.default_mode) but not on 11.x. If this is true, I would like to understand why is the feature not available on 11-stable as well? Have I understood the meaning of the default_mode variable correctly for 12.x and will it work properly for a 1024x600 display? Moving over to 12-stable will not be a big issue on a new system, if that is necessary, but I would like to avoid taking the effort of upgrade unless I can be relatively sure it will solve my problem. --jau From owner-freebsd-desktop@freebsd.org Tue Sep 24 08:52:22 2019 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-desktop@mailman.nyi.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2610:1c1:1:606c::19:1]) by mailman.nyi.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1FE48FDE89 for ; Tue, 24 Sep 2019 08:52:22 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from michaelsprivate@gmail.com) Received: from mail-qt1-x836.google.com (mail-qt1-x836.google.com [IPv6:2607:f8b0:4864:20::836]) (using TLSv1.3 with cipher TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (128/128 bits) server-signature RSA-PSS (4096 bits) client-signature RSA-PSS (2048 bits) client-digest SHA256) (Client CN "smtp.gmail.com", Issuer "GTS CA 1O1" (verified OK)) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id 46cw1K0hGtz4CkT for ; Tue, 24 Sep 2019 08:52:20 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from michaelsprivate@gmail.com) Received: by mail-qt1-x836.google.com with SMTP id m15so1235397qtq.2 for ; Tue, 24 Sep 2019 01:52:20 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=20161025; h=mime-version:references:in-reply-to:from:date:message-id:subject:to :cc; bh=CK6naqIsi/FHbSlr/Tbg2gz4Z/uuQgo/l2WbWRm2tIc=; b=tk+pRbVVeapzHfc37ERaAxoBPO/sK+PHrKlsqxOzDdm0dcwUbT9gBDvfx6Iw7j2fB6 tjD8mgwh+KnMJyOtGjWGR8LYcPOQSQB9cNyLcBsuebH4lV5TfWoGFWUflbaioMS5O1Vq sM/71cRIbXl2lrFa8GCuD5NB4uEqC2m5gXzu5X4gokztJXOyUd/UOYbJwq2NbrPa/XKL MXFU9sPafYQXGTwG7O1G6o6tPDbfl/cgKxrxHSOUJBgOV91Tp/1b2XwrBIFAnfWxrY79 b1khOmMAjwz7r4zj9l86P6PSvLyPfmqIoh/inp7HHFlzisugm3DpEJl/y+gWIjfSnMSZ NABg== X-Google-DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=1e100.net; s=20161025; h=x-gm-message-state:mime-version:references:in-reply-to:from:date :message-id:subject:to:cc; bh=CK6naqIsi/FHbSlr/Tbg2gz4Z/uuQgo/l2WbWRm2tIc=; b=iNXVRRtY+d9bK5Q+mZaMN8sdrXWPa6+rAXNrJ5PdnpKGsXWcNqt92NhodTRLHhiqms 8uny1S697DmCR1E2aLA3174lNhX5ASrmwOHBObSMLu/EUD0oxt+kbjSX0Accj1GQT69y WMeq4y35/DA8aTqZQZv+g474yLTsqGGPt4wIbMtszZE6/QqBZveiHHByPu5BRgeJrRSZ srzKh9u4rN/cTebYDcnd2wJvHy4d04HvQHh9aXumbP1tbDK/y7jvMB6ayuvZsIdn6YD/ h5+OIqQlbO7s8ApK4QzUvetMUOJyXhxMSi+nqIW1Thi/L4P669MHKsRqJ9QVZ2T2EIP5 0EfA== X-Gm-Message-State: APjAAAU33fDMyVMwT7at3R79EHijv8CFWbhZ1UzAzhlhP0Bmua5ncsE9 q/BXAMoEo58igUKO3VEgG1kSs1sRqO9CzrFeIoU= X-Google-Smtp-Source: APXvYqwVehvbIMcJsjPum6khWfeFwvj2ktQ8L/GVYBhbzOCK7aZcHk0E2E49xY6SXgCgTOm7DzTOr0ncI3NlQPIw6ng= X-Received: by 2002:ac8:b42:: with SMTP id m2mr1649079qti.174.1569315139557; Tue, 24 Sep 2019 01:52:19 -0700 (PDT) MIME-Version: 1.0 References: <20E27B10-1A2B-4635-A8C6-7CF784599031@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <20E27B10-1A2B-4635-A8C6-7CF784599031@gmail.com> From: Michael Schuster Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2019 10:52:08 +0200 Message-ID: Subject: Re: Question: Setting display dimensions To: Jukka Ukkonen Cc: freebsd-desktop@freebsd.org X-Rspamd-Queue-Id: 46cw1K0hGtz4CkT X-Spamd-Bar: -- Authentication-Results: mx1.freebsd.org; dkim=pass header.d=gmail.com header.s=20161025 header.b=tk+pRbVV; dmarc=pass (policy=none) header.from=gmail.com; spf=pass (mx1.freebsd.org: domain of michaelsprivate@gmail.com designates 2607:f8b0:4864:20::836 as permitted sender) smtp.mailfrom=michaelsprivate@gmail.com X-Spamd-Result: default: False [-3.00 / 15.00]; ARC_NA(0.00)[]; NEURAL_HAM_MEDIUM(-1.00)[-1.000,0]; R_DKIM_ALLOW(-0.20)[gmail.com:s=20161025]; FROM_HAS_DN(0.00)[]; TO_DN_SOME(0.00)[]; FREEMAIL_FROM(0.00)[gmail.com]; R_SPF_ALLOW(-0.20)[+ip6:2607:f8b0:4000::/36:c]; MIME_GOOD(-0.10)[multipart/alternative,text/plain]; PREVIOUSLY_DELIVERED(0.00)[freebsd-desktop@freebsd.org]; NEURAL_HAM_LONG(-1.00)[-1.000,0]; IP_SCORE_FREEMAIL(0.00)[]; TO_MATCH_ENVRCPT_SOME(0.00)[]; DKIM_TRACE(0.00)[gmail.com:+]; RCPT_COUNT_TWO(0.00)[2]; DMARC_POLICY_ALLOW(-0.50)[gmail.com,none]; RCVD_IN_DNSWL_NONE(0.00)[6.3.8.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.0.0.4.6.8.4.0.b.8.f.7.0.6.2.list.dnswl.org : 127.0.5.0]; IP_SCORE(0.00)[ip: (-9.26), ipnet: 2607:f8b0::/32(-2.63), asn: 15169(-2.20), country: US(-0.05)]; FREEMAIL_TO(0.00)[gmail.com]; FROM_EQ_ENVFROM(0.00)[]; MIME_TRACE(0.00)[0:+,1:+,2:~]; FREEMAIL_ENVFROM(0.00)[gmail.com]; ASN(0.00)[asn:15169, ipnet:2607:f8b0::/32, country:US]; RCVD_COUNT_TWO(0.00)[2]; RCVD_TLS_ALL(0.00)[]; DWL_DNSWL_NONE(0.00)[gmail.com.dwl.dnswl.org : 127.0.5.0] Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.29 X-BeenThere: freebsd-desktop@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.29 Precedence: list List-Id: Using and improving FreeBSD on the desktop List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2019 08:52:22 -0000 Hi, I think it'd help if you let us know whether you're talking about console mode or X-Window ...
