I was reading on the manual page for vidcontrol and began wondering if I
can configure my system:
5.2.1-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8 #1: Sun Jun 27 16:46:47 JST
2004 i386
Video Card: GeForce NVIDIA FX-5500
Can I utilize its vesa driver or maybe my NVIDIA driver on my consoles.
I have invoked "vidcontrol -i adapter" in a console and below is the result:
fb0:
vga0, type:VESA VGA (5), flags:0x700ff
initial mode:24, current mode:24, BIOS mode:3
frame buffer window:0xb8000, buffer size:0x8000
window size:0x8000, origin:0x0
display start address (0, 0), scan line width:80
reserved:0x0
I have invoked "vidcontrol -i mode" in a console and below is the result:
mode# flags type size font window linear buffer

Does this mean I can set my consoles to which ever settings above?
If it is possible, how can I go about it? Any advice, hints, or
whatever response will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
