Greetings,

is there a better method than syscons
to have a nicer looking console mode?  

I am used to be spoiled with linux
and the user of a frame buffer device
at 1024x768 at 24bit color depth, and
would like to get something close to
it in FreeBSD..  I have tried using
vidcontrol -mode VESA_800x600, but
it wouldn't work on my machine - using
a GeForce DDR as the video card.

I am not talking about in X, so there
is no confusion.. I have been using
slackware for a long time, and I am
very interested in learning FreeBSD
now.  Thanks for any help.
