Hello,
I've problems getting the same resolution (in vt and in X) on a new PC
as in my old one.
I'm used to a resolution of 1600x1200 (the LCD has just this number
of pixels), but on the new PC I only get 1024x768.
On the new PC I've installed 13.2
|# freebsd-version -kru
|13.2-RELEASE-p1
|13.2-RELEASE-p1
|13.2-RELEASE-p1
1) vt
kern.vt.fb.default_mode="1600x1200"
in loader.conf doesn't change anything.
Neither does vidcontrol (it only produces always the
"Inappropriate ioctl for device" message).
2) Xorg
I started without a separate graphics card using the hdmi output
of the motherboard.
vgapci1@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 rev=0x04 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 \
device=0xa780 subvendor=0x1458 subdevice=0xd000
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Raptor Lake-S GT1 [UHD Graphics 770]'
class = display
subclass = VGA
With default configuration X didn't start using 'modesetting':
|(EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
|(WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting
|(EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
|(WW) VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support
|(EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
|(II) UnloadModule: "modesetting"
|(EE) Device(s) detected, but none match those in the config file.
I tried installing graphics/drm-kmod and loading i915kms.ko
but no success.
I changed
Driver "modesetting"
to
Driver "scfb"
[. e. the configuration I use on my old PC with resolution 1600x1200]
Then X started but only with the resolution of 1024x768 and I
cannot change it to 1600x1200.
I installed x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel and used
Driver "intel"
but then X didn't start: from Xorg.0.log:
| (II) LoadModule: "intel"
| (II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so

| (--) Using syscons driver with X support (version 2.0)

| (EE) No devices detected.

I tried using xrandr to set a resolution, but
xrandr -fb 1600x1200
only leads to the error message
| xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1024x768 (desired size 1600x1200)
xrandr without option gives
| Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
I thought that perhaps the hardware is too new for the available drivers
and added a nvidia gaphics card
vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10de \
device=0x1287 subvendor=0x1462 subdevice=0x8a9f
vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'GK208B [GeForce GT 730]'
class = display
subclass = VGA
and installed x11/nvidia-driver.
Changed to 'Driver "nvidia"' in xorg.conf, but X didn't start.
I tried it also with xorg.conf created by 'Xorg -configure' and
also installed an tried x11/nvidia-xconfig.

I can only successfully start X with
Driver "scfb"
with both the Intel and with the Nvidia
but not with the desired resolution of 1600x1200, only with 1024x768.
I ran out of ideas.
Can anybody please help?
(Correct resolution in X would suffice;
in vt I could accept it but would also prefer a higher resolution.)
Best regards,
Johannes-Maria
