Graphics Support

[Alex Merritt]

Hello DF users,

I am trying to enable console support for larger resolutions without using
X. I read that enabling "options VESA" makes more options available to
"vidcontrol" to switch into, but when I build, it tells me that option is
unrecognized. I have a Haswell CPU (i7-4800MQ) and am using 4.0.6 currently.

# vidcontrol -i mode
shows only modes 24, 27, 30, 32, 34.

# pciconf -l | grep vga
vgapci0 at pci0:1:0:0 class=0x030000 card=0x197b103c chip=0x11fc10de rev=0xa1
hdr=0x00

Should I just be using X instead of trying this route? What do you
recommend?

Thanks,
Alex
