I'm wondering about setting my desktop PC into workstation powered by FreeBSD. Before BSD i had Linux, and the only one problem exist due to which i can't migrate. I had framebuffered console under Linux, my video adapter is ATI Mach64 (vesa compliant, which can give me 1024x768 svga console) I want to have such a big SVGA console on FreeBSD also, I tried vidcontrol with custom compiled kernel which support vesa modes to set the VESA modes like VESA_800x600 and VESA_1024x768 and no result :(. The error message i have is " Operation is not supported by device". I'm running 4.2-RELEASE. Maybe someone can help me with my problem. Thanks in advance. -- Just GNU it.
