This is getting quiet frustrating :-) I don't want to use X, because I like to use my lovely console :) Plus I'm only on a P233. I've compiled SC_PIXEL_MODE into my kernel, which means I can use vidcontrol to set the resolution to 800x600. Fantastic! Well, almost. When this happens, my video refresh rate drops to from 70Hz (at the default 640x400) to 60Hz. I've found a hack to vesa.c that switches the mode to 1024x768, grabs the refresh rate (100Hz) then switchs to 800x600 and applies it. This is a big messy, plus my monitor only just supports 100Hz. Does anyone know how I can set the *refresh rate* of the console, instead of having to live with the graphics card's default for that resolution? I'm sure it might be possible, I can't find anything about it though. Please help !! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
