https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=288146 Bug ID: 288146 Summary: console (vty) settings in loader.conf not working Product: Base System Version: 14.3-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: conf Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: michael.hmich@gmail.com this is not about X, it is about freebsd boot console since 14.x I have serious problems configuring the boot conole settings I used the same settings in 13.x and it worked just fine in 1280 and 1920px width, I uses gallant font in 8x12 the hardware is not the problem, setting vty to sc when using vidcontrol -i mode shows all modes available but I can not set them, whatever I do the boot appears in the traditional 100y old 640x480 giant letters I can not even set the keymap, whether in rc.conf or in loader.conf I can use vidcontrol to set kbdmap or certain available fonts, but makes no sense when I have to type the configurations I have vesa mode set in device.hints, but it really doesn't matter I also tried using just the native VESA instead of loading nvidia, using vt instead of sc makes all worse because I can't set nothing from the prompt if I set manually vga_800x600 and then another font I get at least a more aprropriate output, but also makes no sense when I have to do it manually the important thing is that the boot shows up in smaller fonts on at least 1280 wide screen resolution I have tried all known (to me) loader.conf options to set the screen resolution, font size and kbdmap and it just doesn't work please don't tell my to try settings, I've done it in excess with 14.1,2 and now 3, what I need is a real working solution, I need a readable console output during the boot process thanks -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
