Re: 1024x768 on a toshiba 8100 tecra in a text (Non X) Console
Hi, This problem even appears when installing the OS though sysinstall. Disabeling acpi was the solution. I just did a buildworld from 5.2-CURRENT and haven't had any problems. I did install by putting 5.1-RELEASE on the 8100 via ftp and then cvsup'ing sources. The only boot error message I'm getting is that the AC97 version is not recognized (it was recognized for a while). I don't use sound, however. Same story with a Supermicro P6DGH/dual PIII/850. I did discover that if you try to back down from 5.2-CURRENT to 5.2-RC then KDE fails unless it is recompiled. There have been library changes since 5.2-RELEASE separated from 5.2-CURRENT, and my attempt to do a portupgrade -af failed. (I've moved back to 5.2-CURRENT since both systems are development; I intend to move my nat and NFS boxes to 5.2-RELEASE so I can use the same NFS everywhere and get away from the lockd/statd issues.

All my previous attempts to send this message failed cause my ISP's SMTP server is blocked: The following message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] was undeliverable.

Re: 1024x768 on a toshiba 8100 tecra in a text (Non X) Console screen
Hi, I seems indeed that only the VESA_800x600 can be set. I had hopes that this would not be the case.. Anyway right know I am having too many system freezes when trying to start X.. most of the time starting X will just freeze the whole system. But that is another issue since I am using 5.2 RC2 and this is not the right place to discuss this. I use FreeBSD for server (Proxy, DNS, DHCP etc) purposes for I am used to it an knows how to tweak it for very high performance. I work the whole day with a text interface so I want something different when at home. I want it to be easy enough to setup without the need to recompile or set any special settings in for instance device.hints or loader.conf. I used to use Apple for this and later on Windows..
