Hi, what I want to have is that I can add dcons/dcons_crom loaded as a module (loader.conf) and to get the output of the rc script to the screen as usual. When I load dcons as a module at boottime, I don't text output after the kernel messages at boot. To get this working I tried to set console="vidconsole,dcons,gdb" in loader.conf (/boot/defaults/loader.conf says "vidconsole" is the default). I also did set boot_multicons and also tried kernel_options="-D", to no avail. No messages from the rc scripts and Xorg eats my CPU without accepting input from the keyboard in gdm (the usb mouse works). Changing the default console via "conscontrol set vidconsole" or "... console" or "... consolectl" remotely results in an error message from conscontrol (no such device). Doing the same with "add" instead of "set" also doesn't work (error messages). What's the problem? Stupid operator or bug in dcons/console?
