FreeBSD: Vidcontrol SC_PIXEL_MODE and GDM
If you tried just like me to use different video mode settings in combinations with GDM and struggled with Video corruption. Or the console screen did n’t show anything when switching from X11 to the console.
There is a very easy workaround/solution for this:
Just change the REQUIRE line in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gdm to :
# REQUIRE: LOGIN cleanvar moused syscons
this will start gdm after syscons (and vidcontrol).
This should fix the problem (at least for me it did ;-) )
(thanks Jonas, for your suggestion !)
