Re: applying the vesa patch to stable for high console resolution
Hi, I actually don't know. As far as I've read (current-list) the patch comes from dragonflybsd which is a continuation of the 4.x kernel, perhaps it already might work. You might try the syscon* patches on a freebsd4.x test box and see if it works.

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/kernelconfig.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 Voilà :-)) Long live freebsd ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
