Hi there,
I was wondering why VESA_800x600 refreshes to 80x25 and figured out,
that
size[0] = 80; /* columns */
size[1] = 25; /* rows */
for mode SW_VESA_800x600 (line 319 of src/usr.sbin/vidcontrol.c).
A screen resolution of 800x600 would make
size[0] = 100; /* columns */
size[1] = 37; /* rows */
Is there any reason why SW_VESA_800x600 is nothing else than 80x25
at this time? I've attached a diff for patching vidcontrol.c to this
mail.
Best wishes,
Dominik.
