Hi all My laptop has an ATI Rage Mobility AGP card in it. According to ATI rech support, this card is VESA-compliant - but FreeBSD doesn't recognise it as such. I searched the mailing list archives, and found > /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/vesa.c, line 680: > if ((vmode.v_modeattr & (V_MODEOPTINFO | V_MODENONVGA)) > != (V_MODEOPTINFO)) > continue; > > The v_modeattr returned by ATI VESA bios has V_MODENONVGA bit set, > so all the vesa modes are ommited... so I hacked this code to ignore the V_MODENONVGA flag. This was only partially successful: I now get some VESA stuff being printed upon boot, but still can't use any of the VESA modes. I also found someone who has the an ATI Rage Mobility in a Dell Inspiron laptop, who claims to have no problem with the VESA modes. Has anyone else got such a chipset, and if so, have they had any luck with using VESA modes with syscons?
