Eivind, I tried your suggestion to improve 'scfb' resolution with my AMD g=
raphics card and it's like magic. I didn't even have a /boot/loader.conf fi=
le, but added one and rebooted and the non-X screen seems much clearer and =
the X-window now has the resolution I am used to. Thank you. Mike

Indeed, this section was enough to get X to use that driver
and it seems to work and even be usable for now. To see anyhing
more than 800x600, I had to set=20
=C2=A0 efi_max_resolution=3D"1920x1080"
in /boot/loader.conf.
Using Darktable, I can see that zooming in and moving the image
is a bit unpleasant, in that updates are more sluggish. Apart
from that, so far this seems to be usable.
Thanks for your help.
