Nope. Afraid not. ATIs don't have any kind of usable VESA support in their video BIOS. ATI makes DOS TSRs for those folks who need to use VESA in DOS, but unfortunately that doesn't work too well for us FreeBSDers. It really bites. I just got a new laptop with the ATI Rage Pro LT and I can't even use any of the 320x200x8bpp console screensavers :(. --Ludwig Pummer <ludwigp@bigfoot.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
