Hi all,
I followed this guide to get a higher resolution with virtual terminals (directly when the system boots up, not with X11): http://www.freebsdwiki.net/index.php/High_Resolution_Console
After the kernel recompilation vidcontrol -i mode displayed more modes but only up to 1024 * 768 (MODE_280). It works but I'd like to have 1280 * 800 if possible. I have an Intel GM965 chipset with the latest xf86-video-intel drivers (FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE amd64).
Is there any way I can get a better resolution?
Thanks!
