This is since 2.2.x, I can't get 80x30 on the laptop. Wierd, I just tried it on my notebook, it works just fine both 80x30 and 80x60. The only reason I can think of is that the check_modetable_for_sanity function, somehow is discarding the modetable in the video BIOS, why I cant tell offhand, but with a verbose boot the table is dumped so it should be possible to inspect and compare with what the check function wants... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end ..
