I don't understand why I never needed this stuff before, but actually now I got 1280x1024@75 in my console with terminus font v20b, looking nice, and I can go back/forth from X... Here are my settings: /etc/rc.conf MODULES=(fuse r8169 slhc atyfb) /etc/modprobe.conf options atyfb mode=1280x1024@75 That's pretty much what solved things, :) Thanks, -- Javier
