It's not possible to support it. > Why "options VESA" not worked for AMD64? Because FreeBSD/amd64 cannot perform calls to the VESA BIOS functions (which are 32bit i386 code, not amd64). > How make videomode 1280x1024 or another? I recommend you use Xorg for that. Otherwise, if you absolutely need VESA modes, you have to install 32bit FreeBSD/i386. > Why only one mode 80x25 available? Actually I think 80x50 should be possible with vidcontrol(1), which is a standard mode that does not require VESA BIOS. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
