I'm trying to do soemthing that I thought would be simple, but it is not working. I have created a simple shell script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d that does this: vidcontrol -s 4 When the system boots. Since the local startup scripts run after everything else is set up, I expected this to work. Instead I', getting an error about: ioctl(VT_ACTIVATE) invalid argument If I run the script from the command line, it works. O fannaly added a su sattement in front of it to asure that it's invoked in a user envrionmnet, but I'm still getting the error.
