Hello,
I propose we put:
options SC_PIXEL_MODE
options VESA
into GENERIC so that people with laptops & flatscreens can change
console resolution to their screen's physical resolution directly from
the DragonFly CD. We could also add:
options VGA_WIDTH90
to enable 90 column console modes.
Except for some additional kernel size (~21K) I see no problem with that
since the CD starts with a text console anyway and syscons returns
ENODEV if the mode the user wants to set is not available with current
hardware.
Regards,
Sascha
