Hi Mike... | That depends on what he wants to do. | | The allscreens_flags will work on *all* your ttyv's | only for some settings, such as video mode. Some | other | flags (like fg & bg color) only work on ttyv0. If | you | want to enable them on your other ttyv's you have to | switch to each one manually and change it using | vidcontrol. Changing the fg & bg colors was exactly what I had in mind at the moment, cuz I don't have X. Before installing FBSD, I had tinkered with "setterm" using an old version of Slackware. There you could you could set *all* the ttyv's in /etc/rc.d/rc.local. I thought that there might be something analogous in FBSD. I have to agree with you that it's a bit of a pain having to manually punch in the fg, bg for each ttyv.
