Hey, I'm wondering how you can increase the resolution of the console in FreeBSD stable. I have read the man page on vidcontrol and googled around a bit, but I'm still confused about what to do. I'm currently running FreeBSD in VMWare on a windows machine (But that'll change as soon as I learn enough to put it up my server, which currently runs linux). I'd like to have something like 1024x768 resolution or so. Also, the man pages mention something about VESA modules. What exactly is this, and do I need it? My kernel is currently compiled without support for it. Would I need to recompile my kernel again? Thanks, ~Schiz0
