Hi, How are you?,

I got a samsung notebook mod. NP300E5A and i installed pcbsd 9.0, if someone could help me thankyou.
I just can select vesa 1024 x768 (24 bits), but i have other partition installed windows 7 and i can select 1366x728 (32 bits).


what can i do?

The VESA video driver has a maximum resolution of 1024x768 from what I understand. In order to utilize a higher resolution you will need to switch over your video driver to match your system's hardware. You can do this by starting up the display wizard on boot-up (I think it is option 6 on the boot menu).
With PC-BSD 9.0, the best supported graphics devices are from NVIDIA, but there has been a significant amount of progress on the Intel graphics drivers for PC-BSD 9.1. If your computer has Intel graphics, I would recommend that you upgrade to the PC-BSD 9.1-RC1 development image instead.

santix -- it looks like your laptop uses the Intel HD 3000 GPU. As Beanpole mentions, the 9.1-RC1 image offers a way better Intel GPU experience. Give it a try if you can.

cheers!
