MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.18-1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2014 23:18:00 -0000 Hello, So I learned from elsewhere in this mail listing how to use the sc flags in device.hints to set my console resolution. I guess the resolution change occurs at the point the sc driver is initialized about halfway through the boot device scan. Is this really the earliest point at which the console resolution can be set? Is there any way at all to have the entire device scan or even the initial boot menu display in a resolution higher than the ugly default? I can't seem to find any further info on this and since I'm quite new to FreeBSD, I'm hoping experienced users have some suggestions. I nevertheless tried using GRUB to pass on higher resolution settings but it doesn't work as advertised, so any help from that end might be useful as well. Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Change-resolution-earlier-than-tp5938429.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
