I've got allscreens_flags="VESA_132x25" in my rc.conf on a 4.0-STABLE system
without any problems on some dumb Dell 15" display. I wish I knew where to
submit a change for termcap, to include a "cons25-w" definition, so that 132
column mode looked right in all applications.

| Hello.
| I workaround with FreeBSD 4.0.
| I have troubles when i try enable vidcontrol VESA_800x600.
| On my desk: monitor Flatron 795FT Plus (17 inches).
| When i use other vidcontrol modes, like VESA_132x25, VESA_132x43, the
result is
| not good for me, and i think for others ;)
| For 15 inches monitor, i just patch vidcontrol.c --> add lines to
| if (ioctl(0, mode, NULL) < 0)
| warn("cannot set videomode");
| if (mode == SW_VESA_800x600) {
| - size[0] = 80; /* columns */
| - size[1] = 25; /* rows */
| + size[0] = 100; /* columns */
| + size[1] = 37; /* rows */
| size[2] = 16; /* font size */
| if (ioctl(0, KDRASTER, size)) {
| ioerr = errno;
|
| Where you see minus - remove this line, where plus - add this line.
| It's working perfect.
| But my home monitor is 17 inches, and lines contains size[0] = 100
| and size[1] = 37 only for 15 iches work well, then my question: what
numbers i
| must use instead off 100 and 37?
| I tried many combinations, but nothing help, maybe the guru and simple
people
| who love this OS know other way to do this?
|
| Best regards from Sergey.
