If you're thinking on it, you should know that the DVD version works. The difference, AFAICT, is that it simply calls loader.efi directly. Ie: bootx64.efi is loader.efi, not boot1.efi. Loader.efi doesn't seem to change the screen mode when it starts. When the kernel starts afterwards, this all

Thanks for that hint. I thought that arc_max was a tunable, but now knowing it's sysctl, that helps a lot. -- Larry Rosenman http://www.lerctr.org/~ler Phone: +1 214-642-9640 E-Mail: l...@lerctr.org US Mail: 5708 Sabbia Drive, Round Rock, TX 78665-2106 On 4

+1 However under certain circumstances it will release some memory. To reproduce, when bsdtar unpacks some tarballs (when building certain ports) tar will use 12 GB or more forcing ARC to release memory. BTW, I haven't stopped to grok whether the bsdtar issue is local to me or another proble

Hi, Right- so, `gop set 0` should've immediately cleared your screen and put it into 1920x1080, full stop. If it did not, I think that's indicative of some kind of interestingly broken firmware... Regardless! We're clearly bad at trying to set a mode before the kernel starts, so r331904 sets the

I did as you asked. You can see the result at: https://owncloud.towernet.ca/s/6K3pGknCyGTi7du ... but the long and short of it is that even though the loader is printing in the center of the screen (text mode?), it sees the 1920x1080 mode as the "mode 0" ... I even tried "gop set 0" ... which it
