The current patchset can be considered as "BETA" and I would commit it if there is no complain about this patchset in the next week. The patchset can be found at: http://people.freebsd.org/~delphij/vesa/patchset-highres.20050522 To use it, you will need latest -CURRENT code, and apply the patchset at toplevel source tree, i.e. /usr/src for usual cases. Then you need to build and reinstall your kernel, with 'options SC_PIXEL_MODE' compiled in, and optionally options VESA if you don't want to manually load VESA support module. A make buildworld/installworld is recommended, but I believe that just rebuild/reinstall usr.sbin/vidcontrol is enough to get your hands on the support for using something like 'vidcontrol MODE_239' or so, which will switch the current console to that mode. Some mode may not work on certain cards, though. Please let me know if anything strange happens; While I have been running with the patch for a while, I would still be happy if you will report that it works :-) Thanks in advance!
