Yeah, sure. Several ways, actually. But let us presume that you are talking about graphics mode in X. Than the first step - an easy one these days - would be to make sure you've got a *supported* graphics adaptor which can deal with that resolution at the refresh rates wanted. The next step would be to tell X which adaptor is has to deal with and with which monitor; which determines the boundary conditions for high end graphics adaptors. Personally I can say that my ol' Iiyama Vision Master Pro 510 runs very nicely indeed at some 1800x1400x24b @ 80 Hz, thank you very much. With the proper equipment you can easily do these chores in XF86Setup. HTH, Roelof PS alternatively you could be referring to an already correctly installed X server which you would like to change resolutions with. In which you should try, from memory, ++/ or something. When configured right for it, your X server will switch resolutions. PPS when you're talking ASCII modes, it depends on your hardware. Take a look at vidcontrol(1). -- _______________________________________________________________________ eBOAź est. 1982 http://eBOA.com/ tel. +31-58-2123014 mailto:info@eBOA.com?subject=Information_request fax. +31-58-2160293 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
