>Description:
Using vidcontrol(1) to change the video mode to most modes past
80x50 locks up the machine solid, sometimes rebooting, sometimes
locking up with a beep. No panics occur. The same hardware on
Linux 2.4.20 does not exhibit this problem, and handles the extended
modes without an issue. The problem is experienced with and without
the NVIDIA accelerated display drivers.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ vidcontrol 132x50
