Do you imply that the settings executed in /etc/rc.i386 are early enough so they are inherited by all virtual console screens ? I can't see any code in it (with 2.2.1-RELEASE) to get the virtual consoles set to VGA_80x25 or some different value submitted by /etc/sysconfig. Is this enhanced with 2.2.2 ? Currently I set all my virtual screens to VGA_80x30 from within my rc.local. Running startx seems to switch through ttyv0 and temporarily resets it to 80x25 which clears the screen of ttyv0... I'd like to get rid of this misbehaviour, if possible. I wonder if it would break something if I changed init_scp() in sys/i386/isa/syscons.c to initialize the screen to 80x30. It would be nice if this was configurable in the kernel setup file... Greetings, Ripley -- H. Eckert, 10777 Berlin, Germany ISO 8859-1: Ä=Ae, Ö=Oe, Ü=Ue, ä=ae, ö=oe, ü=ue, ß=sz.
