Hello, I've problems getting the same resolution (in vt and in X) on a new PC as in my old one. I'm used to a resolution of 1600x1200 (the LCD has just this number of pixels), but on the new PC I only get 1024x768. On the new PC I've installed 13.2 |# freebsd-version -kru |13.2-RELEASE-p1 |13.2-RELEASE-p1 |13.2-RELEASE-p1 1) vt kern.vt.fb.default_mode="1600x1200" in loader.conf doesn't change anything. Neither does vidcontrol (it only produces always the "Inappropriate ioctl for device" message). 2) Xorg I started without a separate graphics card using the hdmi output of the motherboard. vgapci1@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 rev=0x04 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 \ device=0xa780 subvendor=0x1458 subdevice=0xd000 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Raptor Lake-S GT1 [UHD Graphics 770]' class = display subclass = VGA With default configuration X didn't start using 'modesetting': |(EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory |(WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting |(EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory |(WW) VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support |(EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section. |(II) UnloadModule: "modesetting" |(EE) Device(s) detected, but none match those in the config file. I tried installing graphics/drm-kmod and loading i915kms.ko but no success. I changed Driver "modesetting" to Driver "scfb" [. e. the configuration I use on my old PC with resolution 1600x1200] Then X started but only with the resolution of 1024x768 and I cannot change it to 1600x1200. I installed x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel and used Driver "intel" but then X didn't start: from Xorg.0.log: | (II) LoadModule: "intel" | (II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so | (II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation" | compiled for 1.21.1.8, module version = 2.99.917 | Module class: X.Org Video Driver | ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 25.2 | (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Integrated Graphics Chipsets: | i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 854, 852GM/855GM, 865G, | E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, Pineview GM, | iew G, 965G, G35, 965Q, 946GZ, 965GM, 965GME/GLE, G33, Q35, Q33, | 4 Series, G45/G43, Q45/Q43, G41, B43 | (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) HD Graphics | (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Iris(TM) Graphics | (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Iris(TM) Pro Graphics | (--) Using syscons driver with X support (version 2.0) | (--) using VT number 9 | (EE) No devices detected. | (EE) no screens found(EE) I tried using xrandr to set a resolution, but xrandr -fb 1600x1200 only leads to the error message | xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1024x768 (desired size 1600x1200) xrandr without option gives | Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 I thought that perhaps the hardware is too new for the available drivers and added a nvidia gaphics card vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10de \ device=0x1287 subvendor=0x1462 subdevice=0x8a9f vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation' device = 'GK208B [GeForce GT 730]' class = display subclass = VGA and installed x11/nvidia-driver.

I ran out of ideas. Can anybody please help? (Correct resolution in X would suffice; in vt I could accept it but would also prefer a higher resolution.) Best regards, Johannes-Maria
