Stuart, Consoles on i386 involve vga(4) and wscons(4), you just have text modes to choose from which probably won't help you. I4ve tried using 'wsconscfg' to set the screen, but the text modes are not much better (unless there is a stretch option). Yes, they're all VGA text modes for a 640

Stuart, Thanks for the tip, however, I'm guessing that the Linux you tried uses a bitmapped console driver of some sort instead of "normal" VGA text mode. Probably, but then... how can we go about it in OBSD? Consoles on i386 involve vga(4) and wscons(4), you just have text modes to choose

Todd, Go into your bios config menu and look for an option to expand or stretch the display to match the given resolution. Unfortunatelly this BIOS is lousy and has no option to scale or strech the VGA/screen size. Or I might be oblivious of it. But it really doen4t have any display option
