You might have missed it due to the bad fit of 640x480 resolution on modern widescreen TFT monitors. I want just to say that it works good on: ICH9 based motherboard with G33 intel video card, FreeBSD wep4035 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Sat Feb 7 20:25:10 CET 2009 root_at_wep4035:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NOUSB amd64 and gpt partitioned disk (but no zfs): => 34 976773101 ad6 GPT (466G) 34 1571840 1 freebsd-ufs (768M) 1571874 8388608 2 freebsd-swap (4.0G) 9960482 1024 3 freebsd-boot (512K) 9961506 8388608 4 freebsd-ufs (4.0G) 18350114 524288 5 freebsd-ufs (256M) 18874402 134217728 6 freebsd-ufs (64G) 153092130 33554432 7 freebsd-ufs (16G) 186646562 33554432 8 freebsd-ufs (16G) 220200994 756572141 - free - (361G) The monitor has 1680x1050 native resolution and I see the red border too. Looks good, BTW is 640x480 in 4 bits per pixel the maximum of standard VGA? Can you go higher or you are already in protected mode with (almost) no BIOS? I mean, 640x480 is ok, but 4 bits per pixel... mmm... the same 16 colors as in text mode... although with a palette... Just my 0.02$, Alexey.Received on Sat Feb 07 2009 - 19:06:33 UTC
