There are defaults hard coded in the drivers themselves for emergency fallback. Typically, modification away from these defaults is done by getty, and the settings chosen moderated by the contents of /etc/gettydefs. The /etc/gettydefs line is picked by init from the lines in /etc/ttys. Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
