First of all the best wishes for all of you.
I have seen people puzzling with the following before but
never saw a definitive answer on the topic.
I have FreeBSD 5.2 on a toshiba tecra 8100 with the following in
/boot/loader.conf.
snd_pcm_load="YES" # Digital sound subsystem
snd_ds1_load="YES" # ds1
vesa_load="YES" # Set this to YES to load the vesa module
#
splash_bmp_load="YES" # Set this to YES for bmp splash screen!
bitmap_load="YES" # Set this to YES if you want splash screen!
bitmap_name="/boot/daemon.bmp" # Set this to the name of the bmp or pcx file
#
console="vidconsole" # Set the current console
I want to be able to use my full screen in text (Not X) mode. Right now the
standard resolution is 640x480 and I would like to get it to 1024x768.
When I do a "vidcontrol -i mode" I get plenty of resolution options
presented.
One of them :
261 (0x105) 0x0000000f G 1024x768x8 1 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0xf0000000 8192k
"vidcontrol -g 1024x768x8" will not give me error messages but the screen resolution
doesn't change.
This is a piece of my dmesg output :
VESA: v2.0, 8192k memory, flags:0x0, mode table:0xc0a01c82 (1000022)
VESA: S3 Incorporated. M7 BIOS
In case some of you might wonder where you can get splash screens, this is where I got
mine : http://www.baldwin.cx/splash/.
