I installed 4.2-RELEASE a few days ago and managed to get everything working, except changing to a decent video mode. I built a kernel with option VESA. But whenever I try to change to any VESA mode, I get 'Operation not supported by device.' I can change to many other modes but none of the VESA_132x modes. I have the 3 fonts loaded in rc.conf, and have also loaded them from the command line. The boot process detects my SiS630 with 43 modes available and 'vidcontrol -i mode' lists them all. I just can't switch to them. I'm using linux now so I don't have exact output of everything but if that would help then I can handle the ugly font long enough to get more info. I'm just hoping I'm missing something simple. TIA for any guidance. -- Skip To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
