Steps necessary to cleanly build my custom kernel: add "device vt" comment out "options" for vt(4) found in the man page comment out "device sc" gave errors during "make depend" comment out "option VESA" (associated with "device vga"?) gave compile error New kernel was installed. System was rebooted. Hung at: Booting system... \ The "spinner" did not spin! :-( I was forced to power cycle and boot with option "2": boot kernel.old Yes, I have these lines in my /boot/loader.conf file: hw.vga.textmode=1 kern.vty=vt Back to square one? What do I need to do to use vt(4) so that I can cleanly exit from my daily Xorg sessions? Thanks again.
