In FreeBSD 10 there is new vt driver for having nice framebuffer console. By default it chooses resolution from the EDID data of monitor. However, I have a display that has incorrect EDID data. Therefore, I get the wrong resolution.

How can I specify custom resolution for vt framebuffer console to get this display working correctly?

You should be able to set the kern.vt.fb.default_mode sysctl. See the vt man page for more details.

  • Seems this is only available in 11-CURRENT, not 10.1-RELEASE. – gravitation Jun 13 '15 at 10:42
  • I have both `kern.vt.fb.default_mode="1280x768"` and `efi_max_resolution="1280x768"` in my loader.conf but still, it boots in VGA: 640x480 – Bram Jan 31 '22 at 20:10
