And that's exactly what doesn't work. In the list of valid modes produced by the command, one contains "132x50" in the "size" column. However, when I try to specify this, I get freebie# vidcontrol 132x50 vidcontrol: cannot set videomode: Invalid argument > And - pay heed to the comment about > 'options VESA' in your KERNCONFIG, > especially if you want 132x43 or similiar. I have, and I've loaded the VESA support per the man page. > Careful reading of _man vidcontrol_ would have shown > you all this and more. No, careful reading of the man page provided no information on what field to enter for the mode (based on the list of available modes), and does not explain the error message that I received above. If it did, I wouldn't have to ask the question here. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
