Stuart,
Consoles on i386 involve vga(4) and wscons(4), you just have text
modes to choose from which probably won't help you.
I4ve tried using 'wsconscfg' to set the screen, but the text modes
are not much better (unless there is a stretch option).
Yes, they're all VGA text modes for a 640x480 screen - without
'stretch' in the bios, you won't get very far.
I managed to play a bit with the linux distribution in order to
determine the parameters it passes. If it boots (linux) with
'vga=normal' then the display behaves exactly as it does with OBSD.
However, if 'vga=791' is passed to the linux kernel the text screen is
streched. If passed like so at the boot prompt it is an illegal argument.
I am running X, but the screen size doesn4t improve either.
To give full-screen output on your machine, the X server needs to run
at the native resolution of your LCD panel. If a simple ctrl-alt-+
doesn't help, you need to determine a suitable xorg.conf mode line for
the native resolution of the panel - gtf(1) might help.
I will try 'Ctrl Alt +' and also will check gtf(1), then tell you what
happened.
This is the video configuration under Linux; which I will try to set
under OBSD for X4.
Video is ATI|Radeon IGP 340M, using XFree86(vesa) Server
Monitor is Generic Monitor (LCD), H:28.0-96.0 kHz, V:50.0-75.0 Hz
Using Modes: "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
Thank you again.
Diego
