hello everybody,
i have a problem since i use freebsd, and i've been waiting to cvsup
and make world a last time to mail to the mailing list. as i've made
world today, i post this message !
so, i have of course a freebsd 4.0-stable system with a diamond
viper 550 agp video card. it is based on nvidia tnt1 chipset. vesa
support is loaded through a kernel module with vesa_load="YES" in
/boot/loader.conf
at boot i have this message which seems to show that there isn't any
problem with vesa :
VESA: v3.0, 16128k memory, flags:0x1, mode table:0xc02ec102
(1000022)
VESA: NVidia
moreover, i have :
options SC_PIXEL_MODE
in my kernel config file.
however, when i try to enable the 800x600 text mode by typing :
"vidcontrol VESA_800x600", my freebsd box reboots without any message or
warning in /var/log/messages. there are perhaps messages on the screen,
but at least i can't see them. this is big problem for me because any
user can run this command and so reboot the box. i wish to add that the
disks aren't umounted properly when this happen.
any help would be very appreciated ;)
