How to Configure Vertical Monitor Output?

[zoomzoom]

I utilize the monitor for my FreeNAS box fairly frequently, not every day, but frequently, and it would be far more convenient if I was able to flip the monitor from a horizontal axis to a vertical.

While I've come across solutions for FreeBSD using X Windows, since FreeNAS isn't meant to have additional software like that installed, I was hoping someone may know of a different solution.

• I have come across threads where others have suggested sideways fonts, however I'm not sure where I would garnish such font files
• Currently, I'm running the following script at startup to change to a smaller font that's more conducive to a modern widescreen monitor, however I'd prefer to utilize this in combination with a vertical monitor
  Code:

  #!/bin/sh
  
  echo 'allscreens_flags="-f 8x8 vgarom-thin-8x8"' >> /etc/rc.conf
  vidcontrol -f 8x8 vgarom-thin-8x8
  

  • I'm using the onboard VGA graphics on the motherboard (specs in signature)

You don't. Maybe in future versions, since some of the advanced video bits look like they're going to be included with FreeNAS.
