List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2014 17:07:26 -0000 Hello, I have a raspberry pi, Model B Revision 2.0 (512MB) which has the logo along with: Raspberry Pi (c)2011.12 written on it. I have obtained a image for freebsd to run from here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/arm/armv6/ISO-IMAGES/10.0/ I uncompressed the image on a OpenSUSE system, and used, sudo dd if=FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20140131-r260789.img of=/dev/sdd to put the image on a micro SD... with that card and adapter I have successfully boot freebsd. The problem I am facing now is that I am using the yellow SVGA (RCA type plug) cables to use an old Television as a monitor, with this setup I have an issue with the text running off of the screen. I have tried the config.txt file with overscan_disable=0 overscan_left=20 overscan_right=20 overscan_top=20 overscan_bottom=20 added to the existing config.txt I have tried to load vesa: kldload vesa where I get a prompt that it does not exist. I looked in the kernel directory (/boot/kernel/) and there is no vesa, not sure what that means. I am assuming that there is something that is not happening with the config.txt. I saw mention of using the files here to replace the files on the pi; https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware SO, essentially, how do I get the text to stop from spilling off of the screen (command prompt-no gui). Thank You, ito
