Message-ID: <20010205120029.A474@blacktrap.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all... We all know 'vidcontrol 132x43' will put the console in 132x43 mode, and if you've ever tried it you know how ugly it looks. A friend of mine who's using Linux showed me a program called 'SVGATextMode', which allows him to change the number of lines/cols of the console without getting this ugly effect, by using SVGA mode of the card. I've done a quick search but was unable to find similar programs for FreeBSD (SVGATextMode does not compile, it's looking for linux headers). Can anyone tell me more (is there a patch for SVGATextMode to run on FreeBSD, or an alternate system)? -- Chive.
