I've always been puzzled by vidcontrol(8). I've only been able to use 80x50. Using "vidcontrol -i mode", I get 98 modes. If I try MODE_292 (1280x1024x32), I get the following message: % vidcontrol: cannot active raster display: Inapropriate ioctl for device And this is the case for most of them. > it isn't like gentoo or fedora, but it works for me. > I would REALLLY like to see better frame buffer support in FreeBSD My experience with Linux framebuffer is quite bad. I always disable it since backward scrolling (using less) is really, really slow. If there happen to be a similar feature on FreeBSD, I hope we won't have this problem :).
