https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D268095 --- Comment #3 from Daniel Peyer <981973@protonmail.com> --- I did dig a little deeper, to find the root why this package is not working anymore. - I believe, the main reason is that in 2013 FreeBSD switched from syscons(= 4) to vt(4) (virtual terminal console driver also known as the "Newcons" proje= ct). See: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons - There is also another bug report (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D210432) that boot time splash screen does not work with vt. - I see, that the documentation was updated, but the man pages are not completed. - I can get the boot splash, screensaver to work, if I force the kernel to = use the syscons driver with an entry in /boo/loader.conf -> kern.vty=3D"sc" - Why keeping old drivers and old packages alive for so a long time, if nob= ody is willing to maintains it? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
