(X works fine. This is under 1.1.5, >X from the 1.1 cdrom, XF86_SVGA server, syscons, NCONS=4, gettys on >ttyv[0-3].) I think the version on the 1.1 CDROM didn't deal with syscons correctly. I haven't looked at your change, but the right thing to do would be to create a symlink to /dev/ttyv0. Anything else will cause other breakage. -DG
