Synopsis: No vesa device State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: obrien State-Changed-When: Mon Nov 1 16:34:02 GMT 2004 State-Changed-Why: AMD64 has no vm86 (virtual machine 8086) mode. This means we don't have VESA capabilities to use to program the VGA device - vm86 lets you ask the video BIOS to do it for you. Someone would need to write code to program the vga registers directly in order to get the various VGA modes on FreeBSD/AMD64. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=72213
