My laptop has an ati mobility radeon 9600. Unfortunately it has very poor console vesa support. SC_PIXEL_MODE does not work, 90x60 is the highest resolution I can get for now. It looks like I'm not the only one having this problem with ati chipsets: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1091839+1096057+/usr/local/w ww/db/text/2005/freebsd-questions/20050123.freebsd-questions I saw this posting: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-August/035621.ht ml Unfortunately I'm not a programmer and have no ... to very poor patching skills. It looks to me, that in this posting(s) a "few" patches are grouped together to enable vesa 1024x768. 1) Has someone applied this patches? 2) As the patch(es) is/are on the entire page, I don't know how to separate them. Would someone mail me as an attachment the different patches and tell me how I should apply them: for example, mail me patch1, patch2, patch3 and the explanation how to patch them: cd /usr/src patch < ~/patch1 patch < ~/patch2 ...etc In advance, many thanks!
