Hi There,

My laptop runs a recent Intel video card, which is unsupported on NetBSD c=
urrently=2E

I start NetBSD using grub2=2E I have set up its resolution to 1920x1080=2E=
 Nice, so far=2E=20

Then, when NetBSD wscons starts, the highest resolution I could achieve is=
 only 1024x768=2E

Question: Is it possible to use wscons or any other generic drivers to ach=
ieve 1920x1080 resolution on X? I don't care console resolution anyway=2E I=
 just want to use my NetBSD box with a usable graphical resolution even wit=
hout the hardware specific driver=2E

Thank you,

FeZ
