Note that: - my VTYs run at 80x50 - This is XFree86-4.2.0_1,1 - I'm using standard xf86cfg-generated XF86Config (no device options) - I'm not using GENERIC kernel, relavent options might include: - I'm not using splash - no VESA either - MAXCONS=32 - I have options AUTO_EOI_1 - -STABLE from around Jul 15 I'm not a heavy X user (MAXCONS=32!), so it could just be my luck so far. YMMV. -Jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
