Not being able to see 'ps axuw' (on 80x25 console) is inconvenient. For test setups / working in VirtualBox/VMWare VMs, it would be beneficial to be able to increase the resolution just a bit to get something functional. In the ideal case I could get a system where vidcontrol(8) can change a graphics modes. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
