Hi, I'm new to FreeBSD, just installed it yesterday (4.6 that is). Now I have a question: can I make my console work in 800x600 VESA mode (don't ask why, I have some problems with my monitor)? I've read up the docs for vidcontrol, and they say that if I have a VESA 1.2 compliant card, everything should be ok. I've even recompiled the kernel with support for VESA (options VESA) and raster mode display (SC_PIXEL_MODE). Upon boot, my card is recognised as a VESA 2.0 card, but when I try vidcontrol VESA_800x600, it says it can't activate the raster display. Could anyone please help? I'm getting despertate! Unless I can get my card to work in 800x600 VESA mode in console, I won't be able to use FreeBSD!
