Despite having memory = 4096 videoram=16 vga = "stdvga" in my Windows hvm domU configuration my Xen console is always stuck on 800x600. (FreeBSD's VGA console is 640x480 even). Windows detects it as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter with the usual Bochs PCI IDs 0x1234/0x1111. The resolution is 800x600, grayed out, with 32bpp. It also says it has "2039MB Total Available Video Memory" which is also "2039MB Shared System Memory". Not sure it's FreeBSD specific, but all advice online tells me to set "videoram". Any hints? Marcin
