Solved Resolution at vt console

V

vadimk

Dear friends,

By enabling vt(4) console from /boot/loader.conf I got problem setting up the desired resolution. Manual said I should use
Code: 
kern.vt.fb.default_mode="1024x768"
but this setting seems to be ignored by loader. It loads console at "640x480".

After I run Xorg and switch to console manually it goes with "1024x768" without problems. I can't get the same resolution during startup. What can be wrong?

Thanks,
Vadim.
 
My guess is that Xorg loads the needed KMS module. If you do a kldstat before and after loading Xorg, you will figure out which module it is.
 
tingo, you were right - I have to load i9125kms module to be able to switch into graphical mode during boot up. But if I load it from loader.conf it behaves weird : I have output inside square box with fat left/right unusable space. If I load it from X - it goes full screen.
 
I have removed kern.vt.fb.default_mode from loader.conf and console went to full screen mode. Thanks !
