It's on the 2.0.5 CD and you can enable it by enabling two or three option lines (see the LINT kernel) and disabling the syscons (sc0) line. > > How do I configure the driver ? Good question. I would like to see an anwser, too :-) pcvt may have a good vt220 emulation but when it comes to a man page (wrt to configuring keymaps and screenmaps) it really sucks. The man page is full of programming information but it's missing some control program (like kdbcontrol). Take a look at the the sources of pcvt (Not the kernel sources) i believe there is a tarball in the incoming dir with the newest release of pcvt. It contains much more documentation and some nice examples on how to configure PCVT as an HP or DEC like vt220. I think the rc.local file should really be updated to detect PCCONS/PCVT support.
