Re: Monitor Settings at Boot Time

Solved!

I've added the file
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-vesa.conf

according to chapter 5, The X Window System, in the handbook.

and the following lines in '/boot/loader.conf':

screen.textmode="0"
vba_max_resolution="1080p"

Now, both the boot messages and the X Desktop look o.k.
