Dell E6510 Video issues

[Robison, Dave]

Hiya,

I received an email from a non-list subscriber who uses the same laptop and docking station.

At his suggestion I disabled the new VT in /boot/loader.conf.pcbsd, then remade grub with:

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Rebooted and ran the PCBSD Display Manger and I am back up on the intel driver at 1900x1200.

Why the new VT and the intel driver do not play nicely together is a mystery to me.

I believe any FreeBSD user could simply disable the new VT in /boot/loader.conf to accomplish the same thing. The option is:

kern.vty=vt
