And even if your card supports it, currently we have no means to run the i386 BIOS code on Alphas ;-< >Also tried enableing vesa support to the kernel but config complained, I >guess this isnt supported on the Alpha. Unfortunately VESA modes are not supported on Alphas. Kazu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
