Right. Calling function in the VESA BIOS (which is 32bit
i386 code) is not supported under FreeBSD/amd64.

Oops, I was mistaken. 800x600x4 (MODE_258) is what I'm using.
800x600x8 returns Operation not supported when trying to switch to it,
as do both 4 and 8 bit 1024x768 modes. 16-bit and 32-bit modes work at
the higher resolution but they're slow as molasses so I don't use
them(1).
No Matter

This sounds like your kernel is not compiled with options

I only wish 1024x768x4 worked right as (on most cheap video hardware

As it's mostly an IO bandwidth issue, the planar modes should be faster.
