I exchanged emails with jkim about a similar problem in February 2010 (vidcontrol VESA_800x600 would mangle the screen output), there was no definitive resolution, but it started working again sometime around July 2010. Now however, when I try to set VESA_800x600, my machine seems to lockup. It no longer responds to any input, I cannot ping it and I cannot drop to the debugger. I've tried setting other modes, but trying to set them results in: obtaining new video mode parameters: operation not supported by device. graphics card is a: vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x013a1002 chip=0x514c1002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc. / Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.' device = 'Radeon 8500 / 8500LE (R200)' class = display subclass = VGA Any clues what might have changed?
