Have you tried switching to 1024x768 mode using vidcontrol. I tried and did not suceed on my last hardware which was a mvp4 chipset with an 8mb blade3d graphics. Right now I have a radeon 7500 on a 440bx chipset. I'd assumed it wouldn't work, this time around also (ref: the url below), but maybe I should give it a try. So anyways I figured, maybe a framebufer driver would enable switching.... Thanks for any tips on this front. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-June/009789.html Please cc to me as I am not subscribed. thanks Lowell Gilbert wrote: > Rahul Sawarkar <torahuls@vsnl.com> writes: > > >>is there a framebuffer port for freebsd? >> i want to run my console in 1024x768. > > > Why would you want a framebuffer for that? > Do you have frame grabber hardware or something? > > If all you want is a 1024x768 video mode driving the > text console, vidcontrol(1) can do that, but I don't > understand the connection to a frame buffer... >
