Does this suggest any actions to try? I note that consoles ttyv1-7 are now 80x25, not 80x50 as I had them set up before. I can go to each, type vidcontrol MODE_30 to put that virtual console into 80x50 mode. ttyv0, however, starts up in 80x50 as before. I have 45 modes in my vidcontrol -i mode display. 21 work fine,

The other files, however, are different. I first did fetch http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/vidcontrol/vidcontrol.c fetch http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/vidcontrol/vidcontrol.1 to get the files. I now see this doesn't get the correct files. Rather, it gets files marked up for the web. Obviously that was a big problem. Then, using WinXP Pro and Mozilla, I downloaded the files again from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/vidcontrol/ and I moved them to the FreeBSD machine using WS_FTP Pro. Different md5 results again. I found that now the first hunk of the patch on vidcontrol.1 failed. After much file comparing, I found the differences in the files. The "$FreeBSD" line near the beginning of each file had "/repoman/r/ncvs/" in front of src/user.sbin/... and when I edited those characters out, the md5 results were the same as yours, and the patch completed without errors. I found that the vidcontrol.c file would patch ok without editing out those characters, but the vidcontrol.1 file would error in hunk #1 if "/repoman/r/ncvs/" was present. I rebuilt the kernel with SC_PIXEL MODE and VESA. When it rebooted, I got 16 lines of "vidcontrol: showing the mouse: Invalid argument" which I see from a google search is a common problem. Whenever I select a mode with more than 80 characters the screen goes black. I loaded cp837-8x8 font, but no change. I have the following in /etc/rc.conf, to set up 80x50, could it be the problem? font8x8="iso08-8x8" font8x14="iso08-8x14" font8x16="iso08-8x16" scrnmap="iso-8859-1_to_cp437" allscreens_flags="-m on 80x50 white black" Or perhaps this that I have now in /etc/ttys? ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons50 on secure # Virtual terminals ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons50 on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons50 on secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons50 on secure ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons50 on secure ttyv5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons50 on secure ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons50 on secure At least now I can see what MAY be possible; vidcontrol -i mode returns a screenful of fonts to try.

The text before the line starting with "Patching" is taken from the patch file. The patch program doesn't retrieve any files. So I think you either used bad files to patch or bad patchfile. You need to have the original files. To check they're correct you can use md5 utility. md5 vidcontrol.c MD5 (vidcontrol.c) = 1068e5a6aff863e2bc7a0c02098d43b1 md5 vidcontrol.1 MD5 (vidcontrol.1) = 080d2b84f2e3914090279fee6e5f2406 md5 vidcontrol.diff.20050215 MD5 (vidcontrol.diff.20050215) = 67ae12fe2a4fecae1bb7adb141efe021 You need to see the same strings. Then command 'patch < /path/to/vidcontro.diff.20050215' must work.

It's either provided by VESA or emulated using some graphics mode. Newer graphics hardware stopped supporting extended text modes. If you want such modes you need to emulate them (render the characters using lots of small dots instead of just writing characters to the adapter which renders them for you). Support for this functionality is included in syscons/vga driver when you define options SC_PIXEL_MODE. Standard FreeBSD supports only planar graphics mode 800x600 dots with 4 bits (16) of color information per pixel which can be run on old plain VGA with 256KB of memory. The patches we are talking about add support for rendering the characters in any graphics mode your card supports (through VESA) with >= 15 bits per pixel. You could then run say 1600x1200x32 bpp (16milions of colours) for a text mode console. You can't use any graphics there but the textual resolution will be bigger. There also isn't support for using simultaneously more than 16 (or is it 15?) different colors for characters even when milions are technically possible. > It is wonderful to be a part of a caring community that spans the > world, without concern for international borders.

I went into some problem when using the patch on my own laptop, which indicates that USB based mouse can play something nasty with the patchset :-( It does not affect the functionality seriously, but is really annoying. I would appreciate if someone can fix the issue. Cheers, -- Xin LI http://www.delphij.net/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I don't have a patch that is good enough to warrant a commit at present.
You may want to try the patch attached, but I can not promise that it
will work for every case.
Thanks for your testing!

RE: [PATCH TO TEST] VESA [1024x768] mode support for FreeBSD-CURRENT
Hi, I've updated the vidcontrol sources to those in the current cvs and was able to compile and install the patch on stable. High resolution console is fantastic have 1400x1050 (MODE_322) on my laptop now. I get an "pfctl -sa", on one screen ... amazing :-)) It does make freebsd so much better ... I would be great to integrate these patches in future releases, please! The mouse actually works without problem in the console but I've a small mouse bug after a reboot. I assume the /etc/rc.d/mouse script needs a tiny patch. After a reboot and while launching the different services/daemon, there are about 10 lines of vidcontrol errors. Here a sample output: vidcontrol: showing the mouse: invalid argument Is there a patch available for the rc.d mouse script? Thank you Didier >I believe Didier used broken vidcontrol.c file.

It looks to me, that in this posting(s) a "few" patches are grouped together to enable vesa 1024x768. 1) Has someone applied this patches? 2) As the patch(es) is/are on the entire page, I don't know how to separate them. Would someone mail me as an attachment the different patches and tell me how I should apply them: for example, mail me patch1, patch2, patch3 and the explanation how to patch them: cd /usr/src patch < ~/patch1 patch < ~/patch2 ...etc In advance, many thanks!
