And 'vidcontrol -i mode | grep T' show this mode. I don't understand why if 40x25 mode if supported, VIDCONTROL(1) don't set it ?

The standard FreeBSD video driver supports 80 and 90 column wide text displays, with the caveat that 90-colum mode may not be usable on some laptops. If you're dealing with a "graphics" display, minimal VGA is 640x480 pixels. virtually every even remotely moddern display supports 800x600 as well, many support 1024x768, and a fair number go to even higher resolutions. 'man vidcontrol' will tell you how to find out what is supported on _your_ machine. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Can I do the same thing in FreeBSD and how? * Use vidcontrol(1). * If you need VESA fonts, don't forget to 'kldload vesa'. * /usr/sbin/vidfont has a nice menu for selecting fonts. * All settings should go in /etc/rc.conf See /etc/defaults/rc.conf, section 'System console options' Just copy the lines you want to change from /etc/defaults/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf and edit. > Yours, > Mohammad H.

Setting VGA
Hello; There is an option is lilo.conf named "vga" which can be used to set the vga of the terminal. Using this option with 791 I set the font size to a nice one. Can I do the same thing in FreeBSD and how? Yours, Mohammad H.
