In my 3.4-STABLE configuration file this is done by adding: options VESA and then running the usual 'config -r HADES ; cd ../../compile ; ...' stuff. Oh, and please, the next time you want to ask something about BSD, it's probably better to post your question in freebsd-questions. It's not that if someone who can help you will not do it, if you post on this list, but that other list was made specifically for this thing, and a lot of the knowledgable people that are subscribed to that list might not see your question if you post it here :-) Ciao. -- Giorgos Keramidas < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > Find my public pgp key at: finger://keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr/ See the headers of this message for the key fingerprint.
