As announced a week ago, vt(4) is now the default console driver in 11-CURRENT as of r274085. You may have to update your console settings in /etc/rc.conf. During boot, /etc/rc.d/syscons will indicate what you need to do. The original HEADS UP mentioned several known issues. Among them, the following were fixed: o A video mode can be selected using the following tunable in /boot/loader.conf: kern.vt.fb.default_mode=3D"1024x768" This only works when using a KMS video driver. It's not supported by the VGA backend. See vt(4) man page for further documentation. o The keyboard was not working when kbdmux(4) was disabled. This is fixed. o After loading a KMS driver, the text cursor was in the middle of the kernel messages. The problem was that the cursor position was not updated after the change in window size. This is fixed. Up-to-date information can be found on the wiki page: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons If you want to keep using syscons(4), you can add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: kern.vty=3Dsc Thank you to everyone who tested and reported problems! Please continue to do so, especially if you find the need to go back to syscons. --=20 Jean-S=C3=A9bastien P=C3=A9dron --dNq0Fc8fG1BKmJMux7VgT5IJdUFd9oVSv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJUWQtEXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ2NzA4N0ZEMUFFQUUwRTEyREJDNkE2RjAz OUU5OTc2MUE1RkQ5NENDAAoJEDnpl2Gl/ZTMMF8P/2V64z5kY8L7zv8y2W9fvRyg NzsKZprJzbKrvWaXkIqpSghBmfO17SkUeKcgqecqRE8NUHOyijRgTwytHKO5MMzt yV/hFYEhckN/GjgZSwvL24KNoCTH/i6mKDLqcRjnKJuAxLDjJ2Nj0sFGuAnwHdpv gB+oXmATRGWzOwqg75jLmF2eQ5DPNRylhmzxKcPwOAQh5+esq38gr0ELcEO8i0QN BS+EWIaLF6Xk8VQciZTHRObrapKW76q4exkUUG2iWUSCwsOsC6A8jEN7lRyDZGq9 IcNMbUgSVnHji+sa/sZbfTvEIId+qYgrJzXSjvogrT4x0gKtqV7GhlR9kTEpL8HN geS62Xu28VjKEho8cPyqXkeEtSXZEVqN7rgtnP1m7GtzLTXe6J5VhgweQe3oahic ByMbK8dCcWh8uUUoGVww46W9lx4y88w0xPleFXkV7wj7rb3pOn0PvAgaRe9yCgCe PlNRVTCiKNttRrLLVL+tRAARR8wcabH3/IFEOLKW3PYHfWQSivvt+J+0Tv9NcLwV d10HGMa2iyxnNnR9BDSRQtUpZLYGBVxNY3/i8wyGYsog2DD7fPVSEi3mGzdySbpQ NHpHCNmqOnHMZPgjIJABgiW+nedeXHlgkG5h5qBmLY6LpxOw5bJjdP0KgeMlR29U 3mAdWlZ1zqZL4nk20Be+ =B44D -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --dNq0Fc8fG1BKmJMux7VgT5IJdUFd9oVSv--
