Good day! (same Dell laptop (Intel + Nvidia) install to same partition, no BIOS changes, etc etc)
Freebsd-12.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img installs with default screen resolution 800x600. It also defaults to 800x600 once I install xorg, xfce. Ugh! It DOES see my Intel 8265 WiFi card...
Freebsd-11.2-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img installs with default screen resolution 1920x1080, but no WiFi (not a deal-breaker).
Damned if I know how to change the starting resolution so my solution was install 11.2-RELEASE, then upgrade to 12.0-RELEASE and my initial resolution is 1920x1080 - go figure. AND after the upgrade, my WiFi card is now seen. And I don't have to muck around in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as xorg defaults to 1920x1080.
I realize this is NOT an ideal way to install, so my question - where do I go to modify initial screen resolution that appears while BSD is booting?
Thanks in advance,
MarkB
