Lee) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Better Text modes Date: 11 Aug 1995 02:31:25 GMT Organization: Nekomi Institute of Technology Lines: 14 Message-ID: <40efdt$7f3@tuba.cit.cornell.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: 128.253.232.60 Is there something like Linux's SVGATextMode for FreeBSD? i.e. something that let me get 132x43 text mode with high refresh rate, 9x16 character cells, etc on my S3 SVGA. I can only get pcvt to do 80x50 with 8x8 characters... Also, how does one do VGA/SVGA programming under FreeBSD? Sorry if this is an FAQ (pointer requested if it is). "Linux vs. FreeBSD" flames go to /dev/null, please. Rgds Stephen sl14@cornell.edu Witty .sig under construction.
