Kitchen Table Systems
>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE i386
>Environment:
In the kernel config(8) file, disable
device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr
and enable
device vt0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint
>Description:
In case pcvt is configured instead of syscons, the syscons-specific
section in rc.conf and rc.i386 no longer applies and no replacement
is currently available to set the necessary options for the pcvt
console driver.
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure a kernel with pcvt enabled instead of syscons.
>Fix:
What follows is three enhancments to files /etc/rc.conf, /etc/rc.i386
and the rc.conf manual page rc.conf.5 to integrate pcvt support into
the standard FreeBSD startup procedure:

---------------------------------
.It Ar pcvt_keymap
(str) If set to
.Ar NO
then no national keyboard map is installed, otherwise the value is used
to install the keyboard map from
.Pa /usr/share/misc/keycap.pcvt
This file is a simple termcap-like keymap description file, for a description
see
.Xr keycap 5
and
.Xr keycap 3 .
.It Ar pcvt_keydel
(int) The keyboard repeat delay. Set to
.Bl -tag -width 123 -compact -offset
.It Ar 0
for 250 ms delay
.It Ar 1
for 500 ms delay
.It Ar 2
for 750 ms delay
.It Ar 3
for 1000 ms delay or
.It Ar NO
for the default behaviour. See also
.Xr kcon 1 .
.El
.It Ar pcvt_keyrate
(int) The keyboard repetition rate. It may be set to values from 0 to 31
corresponding to rates of 30 charcters per second to 2 characters per second
or to
.Ar NO
if the default behavior is desired. See also
.Xr kcon 1 .
.It Ar pcvt_keyrepeat
(bool) If set to
.Ar OFF ,
keyboard key repeat will be disabled, setting it to
.Ar ON
will enable keyboard key repeat.
.Ar NO
gives the default behaviour. See also
.Xr kcon 1 .
.It Ar pcvt_force24
(bool) If set to any other value than
.Ar NO
will force a 24 line display in case a 25 lines display is selected. This
will resolve some problems with applications depending on the real VT100/VT220
screen size of 24 lines. See also
.Xr scon 1 .
.It Ar pcvt_hpext
(bool) If this is not set to
.Ar NO ,
the Hewlett-Packard Function Key Label emulation extension will be enabled.
Eight programmable Function Key Labels will be displayed which are
available in the HP239x and HP7009x terminals in VT100/VT220 emulation mode.
See also
.Xr scon 1 .
.It Ar pcvt_lines
(int) Sets the number of lines on display. The available values for VGA
adaptors are
.Ar 25 ,
.Ar 28 ,
.Ar 40
and
.Ar 50 .
Setting this to
.Ar NO
gives 25 lines. See also
.Xr scon 1 .
.It Ar pcvt_blanktime
(int) If set to
.Ar NO
then the default screensave blanking timeout is used, otherwise it is set
to
.Ar value
seconds. See also
.Xr scon 1 .
.It Ar pcvt_cursorh
(int) If not set to
.Ar NO ,
it sets the top scanline on which the cursor starts. Scanlines are numbered
from top (value 0) to bottom (value 16 for 16 scanline fonts on 80x25 display).
See also
.Xr cursor 1 .
.It Ar pcvt_cursorl
(int) If not set to
.Ar NO ,
it sets the bottom scanline on which the cursor ends.
.It Ar pcvt_monohigh
(bool) If not set to
.Ar NO ,
on monochrome VGA displays the intensity is set to high. See also
.Xr scon 1 .
