Amd64 platform currently has no options to change the primitive 80x25 mode text console as VESA is not supported. for what it is worth, I run my system console like this: in my kernel conf file I put options VESA # Enable VESA Mode options SC_PIXEL_MODE # options SC_HISTORY_SIZE=1000 # options SC_NORM_ATTR=(FG_GREEN|BG_BLACK) # options SC_NORM_REV_ATTR=(FG_YELLOW|BG_BLACK) # options SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR=(FG_LIGHTRED|BG_BLACK) # options SC_KERNEL_CONS_REV_ATTR=(FG_LIGHTBLUE|BG_BLACK) # and in mt /etc/rc.conf I have allscreens_flags="MODE_280" note you should man vidcontrol before doing this. just type vidcontrol -i at your system console for the correct mode. it isn't like gentoo or fedora, but it works for me. I would REALLLY like to see better frame buffer support in FreeBSD Sam Fourman Jr.
