"vidcontrol VGA_80x50" no longer works). I just noticed the PCVT > > Does this mean a _syscons_ kernel can no longer load the 50-line > charset? You should report this to -current if it's the case. Right... in my kernel config file: device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr options HARDFONTS options "MAXCONS=8" The only part of -current I'm using right now are the ncr.c and pci.c devices drivers. Everything else is from the 950210 snapshot. 50-line mode, via 'vidcontrol' gives me an "Cannot set videomode: Invalid argument" error, yet that mode is listed in the help screen. Setting the console to 30 lines works, however. Was vidcontrol updated between the 950202 and 950210 snapshots? It used to work for me, before the most recent snapshot.
