I can't remember what the difference between the "VGA" modes and others are, but I knew at one point and decided that "VGA" modes were better. Also, if that's not good enough for you then you can use arbitrary VESA graphics modes (as long as you're running 6.x or -CURRENT). On this machine I have: allscreens_flags="-f 8x14 cp437-8x14.fnt MODE_346" In /etc/rc.conf. On my video hardware, mode 346 is: 346 (0x15a) 0x0000000f G 1600x1200x32 1 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x88000000 8000k That gives me a 1600x1200 raster display using an 8x14 font, for a console size of 85 rows and 200 columns. You can experiment with different modes (and font sizes) until you find a combination that a) works and b) you like. Use vidcontrol from the command line to experiment before modifying rc.conf, so you can switch to another virtual terminal if you switch to an unsupported mode.
