Most servers these days are headless although with some security system setups it’s still important to have physical access to the box. After a short time of using it you’ll certainly get fed up with the low resolution, here’s a way to increase your screen resolution.
Recompiling the Kernel
You’ll first need to recompile your kernel to add support for vidcontrol, you can do this as follows:
Using sysinstall ensure you have installed the following src files: base,sys
cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf (you may want to replace amb64 with i386)
cp GENERIC CUSTOMKERNEL
echo “options VESA” >> CUSTOMKERNEL
echo “options SC_PIXEL_MODE” >> CUSTOMKERNEL
cd /usr/src
make buildkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOMKERNEL
make installkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOMKERNEL
reboot
You’ll then need to reboot to enable the new kernel you booted. You may encounter an error suggesting you’ve run out of disk space. If this is the case you’ll probably want to “mv /boot/kernel.old /usr” and try again.
Now you’re using your new kernel you’ll be able to see a list of all available resolutions:
vidcontrol -i mode
Find a line that shows the correct resolution and make a note of the number at the start of it, I’m using 280 which is 1024x768x32
echo allscreens_flags=”MODE_280″ >> /etc/rc.conf
reboot or vidcontrol
You should now be able to enjoy many more characters on your screen, hooray!
