I run 5.2.1 myself, but if anything I write is incorrect for 4.10 someone will surely correct me shortly. It looks to me like you've been putting your parameter in the wrong string; as far as I understand, allscreens_flags is sent to vidcontrol, while allscreens_kbdflags goes to kbdcontrol. Putting plain commands into rc.conf is unlikely ever to accomplish much. Peek in /etc/defaults/rc.conf for a lot of interesting stuff which will work, though. If you still need to do shell stuff on startup, slapping together a script and putting it in rc.d is the way to go. The man pages of rc explain the works, and include a template script which you can copy and fill in. Cheers, -Jan Christian
