My understanding of this whole subject is limited, but bear with me... in my quest to get a "cool looking console for my desktop... I found this https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons does anyone know if someone is still actively working on the NewCons project? or is it already committed to HEAD and i just don't realize? the wiki is a bit confusing... I would VERY much be able to have a console that looked like this in FreeBSD http://wiki.gentoo.org/images/7/7c/Bootsplash.png but if my understanding is correct, we are not at this point (yet)... even if you pull the development source from here svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/user/ed/newcons and change the kernel config like this: #device vga # VGA video card driver #device sc device vt device vt_vga could someone with more understanding of this, be able to tell me if the Newcons project (when completed) is even going to do what i'm looking for? if so, exactly what things have to be done yet, in order for FreeBSD to have a console like Gentoo? -- Sam Fourman Jr.
