Only one console terminal is accessible. The others are present, they can be switched to with Alt-Fn, but they provide no I/O and are just black. When reverting to the sc console driver, the virtual terminals are working as expected. (But without UTF-8 hardly useable.) The hardware docs say the graphics is an AST-2400 (xeon server board) - I suppose that should resemble a VGA card. The /dev/ttyv* devices are present. (The same config did work with a intel core-i integrated graphics console.) It doesn't make a difference if hw.vga.textmode is on or off. There is also this error reported: > module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (vesa, 0xffffffff80e22c00, 0) error 19 This one is widely discussed as currently not supported by vt driver, but this should be related to higher resolution screen, and not virtual terminals missing. Or has it something to do with each other, and is it a known problem? cheerio, PMc
