Description Alvaro 2011-07-13 18:00:26 UTC 
I cannot change tty screen with vidcontrol (Blackscreen and I need restart
when passes 1-2min if not change the tty)

This problem affect on 8.0 to 8.2 and 9.0-CURRENT (7.x I did not try)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have these lines on my kernel for uses VESA for changes tty resolution
with vidcontrol (Included agp, vga lines..et). After it, I need change
fast another tty because if not I cannot use system.

options VESA
options SC_PIXEL_MODE
options VESA_DEBUG

I have got, BenQ monitor of 1366x768 screen resolution and NVIDIA 8200/n730

The last summer, I can change the tty resolution to MODE_279 (1024x768)
and I used it. But the code was seems changed and cannot work it.

How-To-Repeat: > vidcontrol MODE_279
VESA: set_mode(): 24(18) -> 279(117)
VESA: about to set a VESA mode...
VESA: mode set!
vesa_set_mode(): vi_width:1024, line_width:2048
VESA: set_mode(): 279(117) -> 24(18)
