My console is an hdmi connected monitor. > The display works until FreeBSD boots and then it's just blank.

Each has a different video card. The three downstairs are servers, no X, using the video cards in text mode. The laptop has an HD3000, uses X, X works but boot messages, like the three downstairs are black holes. I suspect it's some commit from Jan 5 as messages did display then. This morning, nothing. The puzzling thing is that the commits between Jan 5 and now look innocuous. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: https://FreeBSD.org NTP: <cy@nwtime.org> Web: https://nwtime.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
