Hey there all,

Silly thing. I have a home server that I leave connected to the vga port =
on my TV. Previously, I had dragon_saver or fire_saver running just so =
if you switched to that input you=E2=80=99d see something pretty (I only =
connect a keyboard when there=E2=80=99s a problem).

The kernel module loads fine, per the knob in rc.conf, but under 12.3 =
(i386) it doesn=E2=80=99t seem to be starting. Neither dragon or fire =
works (haven=E2=80=99t tried the rest).

Anyone can confirm this?

-Dan

Related q: is there a way to run =E2=80=9Cvidcontrol=E2=80=9D to set the =
timeout via ssh (i.e. affect the console)
