Yet another thing to ask. I have a wide screen laptop where the VBIOS does 
not report correct resolutions, has the system taken steps to correct this?

Subject: applying the vesa patch to stable for high console resolution


Hi,

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

this for the freebsd5 branch only

Here is how to apply the patch to get the long awaited high
console text modes under freebsd!
I actually use it on my nc6000 hp laptop with the following mode:
1400x1050x16
damm .. really nice ;-))

This patch is actually for freebsd current but it works (for
me) with 5-stable and may be release or earlier versions (5.X) too.

ONCE AGAIN BE WARNED!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Let's go:
1) Get the patch here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~delphij/vesa/patchset-highres.20050522

2) Remove the lines which are not required for us and rename
the patch we will use to syscons.patch:
split -p Index: usr.sbin patchset-highres.20050522  mv xaa
syscons.patch

3) backup and patch your local (stable) sources:
(/usr/src/sys/dev/syscons - will be patched)
cp -Rp /usr/src/sys/dev/syscons /usr/src/sys/dev/BAK.syscons
cd /usr/src
patch  path_to_patch/syscons.patch

4) recompile and install your kernel with sc_pixel_mode and
vesa support see handbook for details!
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernel
config.html

5) backup your vidcontrol sources
cp -Rp /usr/src/usr.sbin/vidcontrol /usr/src/usr.sbin/BAK.vidcontrol

6) update your vidcontrol sources with the current/HEAD vidcontrol
sources
cd /usr/src
cvs [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs co -rHEAD
usr.sbin/vidcontrol

7) recompile vidcontrol and install
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/vidcontrol  make clean  make all  make install

8) reboot

9) after having rebooted with your new kernel (with sc_pixel_mode and
vesa) issue a vidcontrol -i mode
You will get lots of ouput like this:
322 (0x142) 0x000f G 1400x1050x16 1  8x16  0xa 64k 64k 0x9800
65472k
Test the mode in a shell by issuying:
vidcontrol MODE_322

If it works (I hope for you ;-)) but your corresponding mode in rc.conf
like this:
allscreens_flags=MODE_322

VoilĂ  :-))
Long live freebsd
