Hi, I seems indeed that only the VESA_800x600 can be set. I had hopes that this would not be the case.. Anyway right know I am having too many system freezes when trying to start X.. most of the time starting X will just freeze the whole system. But that is another issue since I am using 5.2 RC2 and this is not the right place to discuss this.
I use FreeBSD for server (Proxy, DNS, DHCP etc) purposes for I am used to it an knows how to tweak it for very high performance. I work the whole day with a text interface so I want something different when at home. I want it to be easy enough to setup without the need to recompile or set any special settings in for instance device.hints or loader.conf. I used to use Apple for this and later on Windows..
