I would like to be able to make different settings for each virtual console on startup. The problem is that vidcontrol only modifies the console tied to stdin (which in the case of starting up is only ttyv0). I quickly modified vidcontrol to open /dev/ttyv3, O_RDONLY and then passed that file descriptor to the ioctl call just as vidcontrol originally did (except with just stdin). The result is the virtual terminal running the modified vidcontrol is the one to change, not the hardwired /dev/ttyv3. Can I just change vidcontrol to do what I need? If so, how. Or, will I need to change syscons? If so, how much. Thanks. EVB
