If I try to change to any video mode higher than VGA_80x25, I get the following message from Vidcontrol. cannot set videomode - invalid argument The exact command I am trying to execute is: vidcontrol VGA_80x50 I do not have X installed, just everything except X. BTW, is there a FreeBSD equivelent to the Linux facility FONTCONFIG? The only thing I miss from Linux once I switched over to FreeBSD 2.2.2 is the nifty fonts... Any help would be most appreciated..
