[freebsd-questions] Vidcontrol woes

[Alphons "Fonz" van Werven]

Okay,

FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE just got installed on the Toshiba laptop. But for some
reason, I don't seem able to change the console video mode.

The VESA module has of course been loaded and I did a "vidmode -i mode"
but pretty much every mode I tried either turned the entire screen red
(and completely screwed up) or it says "operation not supported by
device".

I'm pretty sure it should be possible to get, like, 132x43 or something.
In fact, several Linux distros managed it. But I can't figure out what I'm
doing wrong.

Any thoughts?

Alphons
