I have done the same on my laptop. Well, I only compiled a new kernel with SC_PIXEL_MODE and I load the VESA module on boot. > The problem is that when I try to change to a graphic resolution like > 800x600x16, 1024x768x16 or 1280x1024x16 my computer hangs and the box > sometimes start to make a continuous noise with the internal speaker. I assume you did use vidcontrol -i mode and then you are trying to change the raster resolution using : vidcontrol MODE_XXX where XXX is the code for the mode you want, and which appears as supported when using "vidcontrol -i mode" ? > When I use vidcontrol -i mode I can see that the modes that I try are > supported by my hardware, modes like 273, 276, 279 and 282. Some won't work. On my own laptop (Thinkpad IBM X30) I have some modes that either give me a black screen while others give me a faint display with flickering vertical refresh. I use the real resolution from the 12 " screen and it works : 1024x768 using 16 bit (works in 32 bit also). Have you loaded on this terminal a 8x8 font so the display is OK when you change the resolution too ? -- unzip ; strip ; touch ; grep ; finger ; mount ; fsck ; more ; yes ; fsck ; umount ; sleep _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
