Nobody can help and all the answears were "Go and get more powerfull hardware" My video adapters were ATI Rage128 and ATI Mach64. I was lucky to get 132x43 mode , but my goal was to get VESA_1024x768 so I understood that i can't use fbsd on my desktop. Advice : try to ask this question in freebsd-hackers -- Just GNU it.
