Presuming CONS* includes syscons(4), it is still the default in 10.1 -RELEASE. I would expect vt(4) to be the default going forward as it now covers most common use cases (and UTF-8 support is nice). At the moment vt(4) does not support the VGA text mode loadable fonts or VGA vesa features found in syscons(4). It does, however, have a text mode which can be enabled with hw.vga.textmode=1 in /boot/loader.conf. I use UTF-8 with it but the feature list mentions ASCII which probably means ISO-8859-1. The vt(4) wiki page specifically mentions that this is merely the current state of things not the end goal. > > Is there a BSD branch that is sticking with true text consoles? Since syscons(4) and vt(4) do support a text modes, if this is not what you mean by 'true text consoles' could you please clarify further? For reference the wiki page for vt(4) (aka Newcons) has a nice chart of current feature status. https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons P.S. I got your email from the future, seems like there is something up with the timezone on your mail server (the time looks correct if it were UTC but an offset was applied on top of it) [-- Attachment #2 --] 0 *H 010 `He 0 *H 000]0 *H 01 0 UIL10U StartCom Ltd.1+0)U "Secure Digital Certificate Signing1806U/StartCom Class 1 Primary Intermediate Client CA0 150613202446Z 160614003550Z0H1 0 U ike@michaeleichorn.com1%0# *H ike@michaeleichorn.com0"0 *H 0 UՀ,k9D %Z|Y6J<rrK g;&|uNlUE9)V.[ט̊:qS](#v SYDz* CpugYݔ,v<`j(w aS#ڒ6n(K5'KVLåErv< J=[}W bLA%gޭnVb| I?M7D :$׃bM_T[,ƃ\ 00 U 0 0 U 0 U %0++0 U jj: γ+39啖0 U #0Sr풜\|~5NԸQ0!U 0ike@michaeleichorn.com0LU C0?0; +70*0.+"http://www.startssl.com/policy.pdf0+00' StartCom Certification Authority0This certificate was issued according to the Class 1 Validation requirements of the StartCom CA policy, reliance only for the intended purpose in compliance of the relying party obligations.06U /0-0+)'%http://crl.startssl.com/crtu1-crl.crl0+009+0-http://ocsp.startssl.com/sub/class1/client/ca0B+06http://aia.startssl.com/certs/sub.class1.client.ca.crt0#U 0http://www.startssl.com/0 *H x+ȐF}pw.X vF?rg P]EOp)L˻yA ;hi0u2]m [Sbp$_ gr Xm*YP3 #H>mKAǠt)HO|=@} 3ӝ'iO81> 03 v'h5U "H;ECZtpҗ4rWHu^6+i*kJL8shAV|5;?HMc\ j[j|+000]0 *H 01 0 UIL10U StartCom Ltd.1+0)U "Secure Digital Certificate Signing1806U/StartCom Class 1 Primary Intermediate Client CA0 150613202446Z 160614003550Z0H1 0 U ike@michaeleichorn.com1%0# *H ike@michaeleichorn.com0"0 *H 0 UՀ,k9D %Z|Y6J<rrK g;&|uNlUE9)V.[ט̊:qS](#v SYDz* CpugYݔ,v<`j(w aS#ڒ6n(K5'KVLåErv< J=[}W bLA%gޭnVb| I?M7D :$׃bM_T[,ƃ\ 00 U 0 0 U 0 U %0++0 U jj: γ+39啖0 U #0Sr풜\|~5NԸQ0!U 0ike@michaeleichorn.com0LU C0?0; +70*0.+"http://www.startssl.com/policy.pdf0+00' StartCom Certification Authority0This certificate was issued according to the Class 1 Validation requirements of the StartCom CA policy, reliance only for the intended purpose in compliance of the relying party obligations.06U /0-0+)'%http://crl.startssl.com/crtu1-crl.crl0+009+0-http://ocsp.startssl.com/sub/class1/client/ca0B+06http://aia.startssl.com/certs/sub.class1.client.ca.crt0#U 0http://www.startssl.com/0 *H x+ȐF}pw.X vF?rg P]EOp)L˻yA ;hi0u2]m [Sbp$_ gr Xm*YP3 #H>mKAǠt)HO|=@} 3ӝ'iO81> 03 v'h5U "H;ECZtpҗ4rWHu^6+i*kJL8shAV|5;?HMc\ j[j|+040 0 *H 0}1 0 UIL10U StartCom Ltd.1+0)U "Secure Digital Certificate Signing1)0'U StartCom Certification Authority0 071024210155Z 171024210155Z01 0 UIL10U StartCom Ltd.1+0)U "Secure Digital Certificate Signing1806U/StartCom Class 1 Primary Intermediate Client CA0"0 *H 0 -).2AUGo#G B|NDRpM-B=o -we5JQpa>O.#._<V [~**pz~3WG .ᘟMlr[<Ce6fqO"uxfWN#uicgkv$Lb%y`_{`xK'GN 00U 00U 0 U Sr풜\|~5NԸQ0 U #0N @[i04hCA0f+Z0X0'+0http://ocsp.startssl.com/ca0-+0!http://www.startssl.com/sfsca.crt0[U T0R0'%#!http://www.startssl.com/sfsca.crl0'%#!http://crl.startssl.com/sfsca.crl0U y0w0u +70f0.+"http://www.startssl.com/policy.pdf04+(http://www.startssl.com/intermediate.pdf0 *H }x,\c^ #wMq}>UK/^yX֏y frMIŲB61ymQҨݬZ0& ;@#13qۑ& ̢o 6r_;GO>*I( 74XS1r3)!LJy6Kotˆ# _wSr ;B ADp(fs 䰷6%.W0J3:bC<8t X1<Cn=t==wST~\wkBf|15zUP)(IjVB!OfI=bb\4-*em/нSJm7N[]'@ڽ D9Kr>R7/|o^I@ټ'Pa $ z9a'L)( I}vcH]۸D*W} m>Q|C.(,lQ10001 0 UIL10U StartCom Ltd.1+0)U "Secure Digital Certificate Signing1806U/StartCom Class 1 Primary Intermediate Client CA]0 `He 0 *H 1 *H 0 *H 1 150807061240Z0O *H 1B@*/O吖[0<U[85,C \0"nQ)**.(L 0 iz0 +71001 0 UIL10U StartCom Ltd.1+0)U "Secure Digital Certificate Signing1806U/StartCom Class 1 Primary Intermediate Client CA]0 *H 101 0 UIL10U StartCom Ltd.1+0)U "Secure Digital Certificate Signing1806U/StartCom Class 1 Primary Intermediate Client CA]0 *H z5o/ X.tBn:O/JBj sMŜEϰ [Dk`e `ͅF4I;V ,oBf'ߪPM~>>AkQ OB<~Sb'ÝH Ѽ+rȲz 20l1̳ dJ/@f X4͓ yNׯ\PLp2"JW}"|
