The problem you describe (if I read it correctly) might be related to the display setting in BIOS (Stretch enabled). However, the stretching is implemented in very weird way - the screen font in normal 80x25 mode is a bit ugly, so I use 80x43 with small font all the time. It looks ok, and gives you additional lines as well.. :-) Andrzej Bialecki // <abial@webgiro.com> WebGiro AB, Sweden (http://www.webgiro.com) // ------------------------------------------------------------------- // ------ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve. http://www.freebsd.org -------- // --- Small & Embedded FreeBSD: http://www.freebsd.org/~picobsd/ ---- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
