It's nowhere near as ``pretty'' as doing the same under Linux. It's almost as though the Linux framebuffer does some anti-aliasing to make it all look a lot nicer ;) -lewiz. -- I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. -| msn:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | url:www.lewiz.org |- pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: framebuffer fro freebsd
Have you tried switching to 1024x768 mode using vidcontrol. I tried and did not suceed on my last hardware which was a mvp4 chipset with an 8mb blade3d graphics. Right now I have a radeon 7500 on a 440bx chipset. I'd assumed it wouldn't work, this time around also (ref: the url below), but maybe I should give it a try. So anyways I figured, maybe a framebufer driver would enable switching Thanks for any tips on this front. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-June/009789.html Lowell Gilbert wrote: Rahul Sawarkar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: is there a framebuffer port for freebsd? i want to run my console in 1024x768.
