There is a new matrox card (with triple head support) available - the Matrox Millenium p750.
Forget the triple/dual head features - I have not even loaded X yet - I just want a reasonable test console mode to do console work in. Unlike many ATI Rage cards (especially in dell laptops ?) this card does indeed have full VESA support. So, my kernel includes: options VESA options SC_PIXEL_MODE options VGA_WIDTH90 but when I boot up, I see this in my dmesg: # dmesg | grep vesa module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (vesa, 0xc034e8a0, 0) error 6 So ... thatisnt good. And when I try to go into theVESA mode, : # vidcontrol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600 vidcontrol: cannot activate raster display: Operation not supported by device So, if I kldload vesa (grasping at the straw here): # kldload vesa module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (vesa, 0xc7fb5620, 0) error 6 # kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 4 0xc0100000 396560 kernel 2 1 0xc0497000 4a30c acpi.ko 3 1 0xc7fb2000 5000 vesa.ko So I get the error again, but it is loaded as a module. I try to go 800x600 again: vidcontrol: cannot activate raster display: Operation not supported by device So what is the problem ? I am ready to have 800x600 console support now, so this certainly isn't a problem to wait on. thanks all of you - and let me know if there are addditional data I can post to you about the problem. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
