The new "vt" graphical console is borked, it is known to have issues with KVM's and impi consoles. Its graphics timing signals are off standard just enough to mess things up. You can probably get around your issue by switching to syscons console. IIRC you can drop to the loader prompt, and type: kern.vty=sc boot to work around this issue. But this may create issues with EFI bios. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
