Subject: 1024x768 on a toshiba 8100 tecra in a text (Non X) Console screen X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: listman@2u2.nu List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2003 10:59:58 -0000 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/. Greetings, LJ -- :wq!
