It seems a dependency was introduced which requires the videoconsole code. I find this extremely irritating. Of course, there's nothing to stop me (at the moment) from compiling loader under 8-STABLE and installing it on 9.1 machines, but... Is there a better way now to stop the cursor from scribbling illegibly across the screen? - M
