Afaik this has been in FreeBSD since the switch from sc to vt. I'm not sure though if it's a vt or a Nvidia bug. Only solution I know of is to put hw.vga.textmode=1 in /boot/loader.conf. Drawback is that you don't get graphics mode in your console but old fashioned pre-vt console fonts. Regards, Marco -- Only two kinds of witnesses exist. The first live in a neighborhood where a crime has been committed and in no circumstances have ever seen anything or even heard a shot. The second category are the neighbors of anyone who happens to be accused of the crime. These have always looked out of their windows when the shot was fired, and have noticed the accused person standing peacefully on his balcony a few yards away. -- Sicilian police officer
