Hey,
Could someone please enlighten me about the meaning of the "vidcontrol -i
mode" output!
Here is some info: I'm using the native freebsd nvidia driver from
www.nvidia.com which brings its own nvidia.ko module. My card is a 32mb "Asus
AGP-V7100D/2V1D" which uses the nvidia Geforce 2 MX chipset ! I've the
following kernel devices/options compiled in my custom kernel:
-----------------------------------------
device agp
options VESA
device vga0 at isa?
options SC_PIXEL_MODE
options VGA_WIDTH90
----------------------------------------
Actually I'm using these settings in rc.conf:
font8x16="iso-8x16"
font8x14="iso-8x14"
font8x8="iso-8x8"
allscreens_flags="-g 100x37 VESA_800x600"
Here is the output of vidcontrol -i adapter & vidcontrol -i mode :
fb0:
vga0, type:VESA VGA (5), flags:0x700ff
initial mode:24, current mode:258, BIOS mode:3
frame buffer window:0xa0000, buffer size:0x2000000
window size:0x10000, origin:0x0
display start address (0, 0), scan line width:100
reserved:0x0
mode# flags type size font window linear buffer

1) Now!? How to I set a mode like 132x60 or for instance I'm using 100x37 but
this mode is not listed here!? Why?
2) What kind of mode (see first column) is mode 282 or 279? How can I set this
mode?
3) Why I can't I set a mode like: VESA_132x60? Are not all modern cards able
to display these console resolution?
4) How do the different column ouput actually, like flags, type, linear buffer
help me or even the size column for example:
1024x768x16, what do I know with this output?
Thanks
Didier
