I recently enabled "options USER_LDT" in my kernel to test some things
out. I also enabled VESA and VM86 (figured if i was gonna reboot...)
Well vidcontrol seems only able to set a very small subset of modes
that seem available to my machine (from boot -v and vidcontrol -i mode)
Modes that I could get to work: 80x25, 132x25, VESA_800x600 no more :(
However it seems stable enough, but I don't have Xfree around to test the
VESA server.
Another odd thing with VESA, if you notice how it seems the top of my
dmesg it gone? Well right about there at bootup my screen goes blank for
a split second and again either a second before or after the cut part.
(This happens twice while probing VESA it seems)
What's up?
vidcontrol -i mode:
mode# flags type size font window linear buffer
