Please, help me. > You didn't say why you wanted to change the console screen resolution, so I am guessing you don't like it's new look in 11.0. Just to point out something you may have missed about 11.0. The default console driver has changed from "sc" to "vt". The console screen now looks different that what you are used to seeing with past versions of Freebsd. You can change the default console driver back to "sc" by adding this line to /boot/loader.conf file and rebooting. kern.vty=sc If you want to continue using the default "vt" console driver, you can change the default mode from "graphic" mode to "text" mode by adding this line to the /boot/loader.conf file and rebooting. hw.vga.textmode=1 About your question of "how to set console text mode 1920x1080" I do not know the correct syntax to use, but I know you should put it in /boot/loader.conf file and reboot. It maybe as simple as adding "mode 0" to the /boot/loader.conf file and rebooting. Note: the "vt" console driver has some problems. Search the bug reporting system for list of "vt" bugs to see if any of those bugs may impact you before you decide to continue to use it.
