Hi, if I load the vesa kld module from loader.rc, in order to use a high-res splash screen, when X starts the screen is very dim. Usually I start xdm from ttys, but its the same if I use startx. The cursor looks normal, its really bright against the dim screen. Its fine if I don't load vesa and use a 320x200 splash screen, and if I do load it, the vesa modes work great; I can load a 1024x768 splash image, its just when X starts.
I'm running 4.0-current as of about noon on Sunday, Diamond Viper V330 pci video card (riva 128) on a pci motherboard (no agp). I've also got a bt848 TV card, but I doubt that would affect it. Not sure what else would be significant. I imagine its something peculiar to my video card, the console text used to be a gross yellow when I used vesa, but that's been fixed. I didn't want to send huge boot -v or dmesg output to the list until I got some feedback.
