--nFreZHaLTZJo0R7j Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, context: recent 12-stable, amd64, desktop What I'd like to do is to have a default console font that's not blocky. The default seems to be 640*480. My screen is 1920*1024. I'd like something like the default console font that OpenBSD uses. Thing is, there aren't any (it seems - I can't find them) *recent* complete instructions how to do this on *recent* FreeBSD12. Confusingly,=20 both sc and vt are in the default kernel. What is best to use?=20 This is a desktop system, and it runs X fine. It has an nvidia graphics=20 card, and is using the latest drm-kmod for FreeBSD12. I don't want the=20 console configuration interfering with the working X setup. But I'd like=20 a fon't that isn't huge for the times I don't want to start X. If I follow the console section in the handbook and for instance try # kldload vesa I get this error: module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (vesa, 0xffffffff836c6000, 0) error 19 = =20 sysctl_unregister_oid: failed(22) to unregister sysctl(vesa) or # vidcontrol -i mode (no modes displayed) Basically all that I'm looking for are instructions about: 1. whether to use sc or vt 2. how to change resolution 3. how to change console font please would anyone advise? thanks, --=20 J. --nFreZHaLTZJo0R7j Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEE8n3tWhxW11Ccvv9/s8o7QhFzNAUFAlz1JQYACgkQs8o7QhFz NAU8qg/+PfE1dsYZE2bnxY8Na6+WDnqsungs1ivj2uAMjqDHfT8jGu8FZ7sP7qDe 3nDREFp7K9x6+iYB3CeFQX0bnjdwl0ofH8E5we547ERl7mZV7kFY3qX6YJspGlRa 7rYnptFyHcwizMcQHR8yJuPt+K+BRYTQNzbFUCHvJ2yuQsCTthjVTkkwIs33Ci7P pbNhgQkbg34nRc1pBp01B+DUP9KNeas3Cce9PqGeiyOMTUqQVeBx4QxKEECAvuK6 +y4/tI4mTOR8Pwsr/MYlDyC05yCGDMPlTgxuuxY3yj/67wQkht2MlKwnyxrbvpKd mcxX9zOWe9dh9qdpF3xhhP+PjrFhjNAJpCa7SddJKTtISWjIbpeQZ7Lc9pyARYw7 bTSBvWATfuOLrTgfzs4kpWG5u9PpF+n3x6QKY06bsZA8sEK6qnzxhC0/+BWYt0i/ ZbU73EvVn4Tiw+4thZcAwBRsmhSBqfOWBKI0FOf9+0opREaR4JXXE+SCuS6eLK45 3374JfJYfXueyScmmPzwoGoooLE/tbHb11WIDb9OwBnkEJLjcu7wcNRxBdm3EuIz Mia6rQRFTx/oGI73pEQhDxHAbZu1Erh+/M03HSSBnwhL30FmCqrb7pf8UkCrNuSX fKr94zhhFXBpAwYFJKc5wvVEjQBorOwVtm/4bJwHgaZxpg+MzjA= =sPvP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nFreZHaLTZJo0R7j--
