There is a way to set vesa modes at boot, but they do not work with the ati rage mobility card as far as I could tell.

I couldn't seem to find out which ones were and which ones weren't. example: vidcontrol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600 -- Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
