I tried a few things - switched to sc via setting "kern.vty=sc" in /boot/loader.conf, this caused a hang on reboot - setting "hw.vga.textmode" to 1 - "kldload vesa" ... and probably a few other things I now forget, all to no effect - I still get nothing. I then performed an update from a freshly 'git pulled' source today (kernel, world, drm-devel-kmod), a simple "vidcontrol" test still shows the same.

Hi all,

I'm trying to get a smaller font in my text-conso= les (using vt) on my Ryzen 4700 and Vega10 Renoir - based laptop with a fre= sh install of FreeBSD CURRENT from last week.

... and probab= ly a few other things I now forget, all to no effect - I still get nothing.=

I then performe= d an update from a freshly 'git pulled' source today (kernel, world= , drm-devel-kmod), a simple "vidcontrol" test still shows the sam= e.

I know it can w= ork because I had a smaller font before I re-installed over the previous in= stallation (which originally came from ghostbsd in Aug 2020), so - I assume= - it can't be rocket science :-)
I'd appre= ciate further hints/pointers/RTFMs (though I've tried quite a few of th= ose).
