For workaround, you can try to either: 1 (blind) press esc to get out of boot menu, then enter: vbe on; another option is to add hw.vga.textmode=“0” to loader.conf. >>> >>> Sorry for confusion, >>> toomas >>> >> >> the 58661b3ba9eb should hopefully fix the loader text mode issue, it would be cool if you can verify:) >> >> thanks, >> toomas > > I think, I got it fixed (at least idwer did confirm for his system, thanks). If you can test this patch: http://148-52-235-80.sta.estpak.ee/0001-loader-rewrite-font-install.patch it would be really nice. > [I got to this sooner than I originally expected.] With the patch applied, hw.vga.textmode="1" finally displayed correctly for the ThreadRipper 1950X context that I had originally reported. (The only amd64 FreeBSD context that I've access to.) Thanks, Mark === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)Received on Tue Jan 05 2021 - 23:03:34 UTC
