And the arguments "adapter" and "modes" are hilited as if they're user-supplied values while they're just words "adapter" or "mode". This is likely to be not-the-right-way in vidcontrol program itself, but also could be somehow emphasized in the manpage. >How-To-Repeat: man vidcontrol | col -b | grep -A 2 -e ' -i' >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
