My BIOS does not have this entry. I can only select if this is a PnP operating system. I have set it to "no" because if I select "yes" my PCI NE-2000 network card is not recognized because the BIOS does not assign resources to it (I was told on this list that FreeBSD is not yet a full PnP system in this sense). If I set PnP to "yes" the card is correctly recognized as a VGA card. > That commit fixed the problem where the vga driver wrongly thought the > card is CGA when the BIOS DOES initialize the card as VGA. If the > BIOS initialize the card as CGA, the vga driver is still led to believe > the card is CGA. (And I believe that is the reasonable behavior.) So how can I force the card to VGA in my situation? :) I have flashed the latest BIOS into the motherboard and I still can't find any setting mentioning CGA or VGA.
