Hello Anthony,
I know I am not technically answering your question.
Just in case you don't really care about the resolution but want
bigger fonts.
You can get nice big letters by setting:
fontb32=terminus-b32.fnt
font8x16=terminus-b32.fnt
font8x8=terminus-b32.fnt
in rc.conf
Best regards
Markus

I'm running (a somewhat dated) FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT (git commit
68c8581f7, Tue. Feb 12 13:01:55 2019) on a UEFI laptop with an
Intel UHD
display, booting a ZFS root filesystem (gptzfsboot(8)). I'm
trying to
get the console into a lower resolution than the native UHD when
the
kernel is booted. I can manually do this by breaking into the
loader
prompt at boot and entering 'mode 1', then
'boot'. loader.conf(5) says I
can run this command automatically with the 'exec' directive,
but the
video mode doesn't change.
$ sudo cat /boot/loader.conf
Password:
autoboot_delay="3"
#boot_single="YES"
boot_verbose="YES"
kern.timecounter.hardware="HPET"
hw.psm.synaptics_support="1"
kern.vty="vt"
hw.vga.textmode="1"
efi_max_resolution="1920x1080"
exec="mode 1"
I've also tried using directive 'efi_max_resolution' - same
result. Does
'exec' work on my configuration (UEFI boot, ZFS root), or am I
not using
it right? I've tried putting other loader commands in 'exec'
with no
effect. Same question for efi_max_resolution.
A separate question (possibly for graphics@ or x11@) is when the
i915(4)
kernel module from the graphics/drm-current-kmod port is loaded
by
rc.conf(4)'s 'kld_list' variable. When I do manually set the
console
resolution using 'mode 1', it is reset to maximum resolution
when
i915(4) is loaded.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony Jenkins
