Default what's the yellow screen after startx ?

Code:
grep root .xinitrc
xsetroot -solid black
After `startx`, screen always jumps to black from yellow(which is a boring blink).

Code:
grep nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Driver "nv"

Code:
uname -a
OpenBSD ob56.zsoft.com 5.6 GENERIC.MP#299 i386

Can i remove such a blink ?

Regards!

Do you still get that if you use the vesa driver?

The xorg.conf is generated by
Code:
Xorg -configure
, do i have to manually change it to use vesa ? And does vsea support 1440x900 ?

Regards!

Yes, you must manually configure the VESA "chipset" to avoid auto-configuring the nv(4) driver. See vesa(4). 1440x900 is one of the standard resolutions of VESA BIOS Extensions (VBE).

VESA provides no hardware acceleration, since it is an industry standard and not specific to any video hardware manufacturer's products.

Regards!

The VESA driver can only use the modes that the BIOS presents. Your xorg.0.log will show the modes available.
