Hello Anthony,
I know I am not technically answering your question.
Just in case you don't really care about the resolution but want
bigger fonts.
You can get nice big letters by setting:
fontb32=terminus-b32.fnt
font8x16=terminus-b32.fnt
font8x8=terminus-b32.fnt
in rc.conf
Thanks Markus,
That solution will work for when init(8) runs the RC scripts, but
doesn't get me bigger text when the loader and kernel are spewing
messages. But that is better than nothing, and will at least allow me
to use vt(4) again without a magnifying glass.
Best regards
Markus

I'm running (a somewhat dated) FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT (git commit
68c8581f7, Tue. Feb 12 13:01:55 2019) on a UEFI laptop with an Intel
UHD display, booting a ZFS root filesystem (gptzfsboot(8)).
CORRECTION: I installed (merged) /boot/boot1.efifat in the existing EFI
system partition; I didn't install /boot/gptzfsboot into a freebsd-boot
partition.
Reference:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot#Manually_Installing_FreeBSD_on_ZFS
I'm trying to get the console into a lower resolution than the native
UHD when the kernel is booted. I can manually do this by breaking
into the loader prompt at boot and entering 'mode 1', then 'boot'.
loader.conf(5) says I can run this command automatically with the
'exec' directive, but the video mode doesn't change.
$ sudo cat /boot/loader.conf
Password:
autoboot_delay="3"
#boot_single="YES"
boot_verbose="YES"
kern.timecounter.hardware="HPET"
hw.psm.synaptics_support="1"
kern.vty="vt"
hw.vga.textmode="1"
efi_max_resolution="1920x1080"
exec="mode 1"
I've also tried using directive 'efi_max_resolution' - same result.
Does 'exec' work on my configuration (UEFI boot, ZFS root), or am I
not using it right? I've tried putting other loader commands in
'exec' with no effect. Same question for efi_max_resolution.
A separate question (possibly for graphics@ or x11@) is when the
i915(4) kernel module from the graphics/drm-current-kmod port is
loaded by rc.conf(4)'s 'kld_list' variable. When I do manually set
the console resolution using 'mode 1', it is reset to maximum
resolution when i915(4) is loaded.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony Jenkins
