I get very poor resolution in consoles with vidcontrol. I didn't compile the vga_width90 as I didn't want these resolutions. With module vesa loaded the only modes I'm able to set are: 0 (0x000) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 1 (0x001) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 2 (0x002) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 3 (0x003) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 19 (0x013) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 20 (0x014) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 21 (0x015) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 22 (0x016) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 23 (0x017) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 24 (0x018) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 30 (0x01e) 0x00000001 T 80x50 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 32 (0x020) 0x00000001 T 80x30 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 34 (0x022) 0x00000001 T 80x60 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 112 (0x070) 0x00000000 T 80x43 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 113 (0x071) 0x00000001 T 80x43 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k 1) While googling I found users getting 132x60 for example, is that possible with a matrox card? 2) Which card for example support a 132x60 resolution? 3) Could you recommand me a dual-headed card (supported by xorg and freebsd) that also support console resolutions of 132x60? thanks a lot didier
