Setting just those two values in /etc/wsconsctl.conf should be OK. The
man page doesn't suggest otherwise. 

Not sure why you're getting "Value is read only", though. Not sure I
can do more to help. I'm sorry; I'm still new to OpenBSD.

Have you had a look at your dmesg output? I should have taken a closer
look at that myself. Sorry about that.

inteldrm0: msi
inteldrm0: 848x480, 32bpp
wsdisplay0 at inteldrm0 mux 1: console (std, vt100 emulation)
wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (std, vt100 emulation)
"Intel GM45 Video" rev 0x07 at pci0 dev 2 function 1 not configured

The Intel DRM driver itself is reporting a max resolution of 848x480 at
boot time. Did you take any notes on what changes you made while
upgrading this laptop to 6.2-RELEASE? They might prove interesting.

Hi, Jan. Have you had a look at the "/etc/wsconsctl.conf" file?
According to wsconsctl(8), that file contains parameters that rc(8)
sets for the system at startup.

If not, can you please reply with the contents of your copy of
"/etc/wsconsctl.conf"? Thanks.
