On what hardware (or VM) do you experience this? On my Thinkpad X220 the console is acceptably performant in both VGA-mode (at boot) and i915 (after starting X), with a FreeBSD-CURRENT kernel from the end of January. In VirtualBox it is noticeably pokey for me, but certainly not on the order of one second for a scroll. Also note that the vt(9) VGA driver doesn't implement VESA modes - it's original VGA mode only. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
