I have two systems running 6-STABLE, one on a desktop pc and one on a laptop. Both have saver="logo" in rc.conf, but the laptop fails to load it: logo_saver: the console does not support M_VGA_CG320 Module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (logo_saver, 0xc266aac8, 0) error 19 I thought the problem was that the laptop console was not correctly set-up, is should support the logo, but /etc/rc.conf, /etc/defaults/rc.conf (System Consoles), and /etc/ttys (ttyv*) are all identical. So was I wrong with my thought, or is there somewhere else I should be looking?
