The chipset is a ASpeed AST2300 and supposedly handle up to a resolution of 1920x1200. ( for reference : http://www.aspeedtech.com/products.php?fPath=20&rId=200 ) My problem is not under X.org but in console mode, the vesa.ko module refuses to load with this chipset giving me a : module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (vesa, 0xffffffff81214000, 0) error 19 When trying to see which resolution I can use in console mode with `vidcontrol -i mode` I get only one line : 3 (0x003) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x8 0xb80000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k Unfortunately recompiling with VESA_DEBUG=1 does not yield any more information as to why it refuses to load (compiled in kernel or as a module). Enabling the define MODE_TABLE_BROKEN in /usr/src/sys/dev/fb/vesa.c changes nothing. This problem has been confirmed on FreeBSD 10/STABLE and 9.2/RELEASE. I tried to flash the vbios to the latest version but their utility tells me it is impossible since the version installed is "invalidate" ... `pciconf -lv` gives me : vgapci0@pci0:8:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x20001458 chip=0x20001a03 rev=0x21 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'ASPEED Technology, Inc.' device = 'ASPEED Graphics Family' class = display subclass = VGA Does anyone has an idea as to why I can't have any other resolution in console mode ? I can give access to the machine via ssh if it helps debugging the problem. -- Florian Millet Athena Distribution
