Hi, I am using the latest nvidia-driver-367.44_2 (modules nvidia.ko and nvidia-modeset.ko have to be loaded in order for X to work) and while X works great after I have started X and want to switch back to console. Alle ttys are just black. The Keyboard is still working and I can switch back to the X session or press Ctrl-C on the black tty and startx again. My system is a UEFI install and at boot vt_efifb is used automatically no matter what I set kern.vty to.except for "sc" of course. With "sc" set, the system won't boot because with uefi I have tried like everything I have found on the web (changing kern.vty, setting textmode to 1, etc). But I have also found that nvidia and vt have had some problems when FreeBSD 11 was still CURRENT and that this was fixed? Is this an open bug again? Is there a way for me to set an option/add a patch or something to make ttys work again after I have started X? Thx for your support, Stefan
