Greetings, I'm testing 11-CURRENT, and have build/installed a kernel, and world. The KERNCONF includes both sc, and vt. As I understand it. If both are included, I get sc, not vt. But all previous kerns I've built that had sc, provided a mouse upon boot. However, in 11, I don't get one. What must be done? I'd like to try vt(4), and I've read the man page for it, and have added: kern.vty="vt" in /boot/loader.conf having done so, does NOT enable mouse support, and turns OFF cursor="blink" which is defined in rc.conf(5). I also read that hw.vga.textmode is available. However sysctl hw.vga.textmode returns unknown oid. I would choose graphics (0) if it was available. But appears not. Thank you for all your time, and consideration. --Chris
