How to solve local terminal output mess for btop (bpytop formerly) resource monitoring tool ?

Athough it's not clear if the command is executed on a 12.3 or 13.x system. When executed on 12.3 it won't show vbefb support. VT VBE framebuffer device support is only available starting with 13.0. 12.x kernel series can't support vbefb.
Sad, but this is our headpain: FW/Router now based on 12.3 and only may be later this year would be possible upgrade to 13.0 (or 13.1, not sure, all of this depend on fw/router software developer).

Check booting a 13.1-RELEASE installer image (without installing). At the "Welcome" dialog drop to "Shell" or "Live CD" and execute dmesg | grep 'VT('.

If VBE framebuffer device is supported the output should look similar to following (this is what is printed on my system):
Code:
VT(vga): resolution 640x480
VT(vbefb): resolution 1920x1080
VT(vga): resolution 640x480
 
Not sure which setting manipulates the screen resolution in your configuration files on your system. Maybe vesa.ko and hint.sc.0.vesa_mode="285"? (The vesa driver is integrated in the GENERIC kernel, it doesn't need to be loaded as module.)

Or loading the mga.ko module?
Recently I try to hw restart only with vesa.ko (with mga.ko commented out): surprisingly result are the same,- only hint.sc.0.vesa_mode=“285” able to change screen resolution to 1600x1200.

So, looks like system access to card by kernel, not mga.ko... But I not sure because luck of knowledge...

Again one time THANK YOU SO MUCH for help!
