Greetings, On 11-CURRENT, and with vt(4) chosen. I receive the following at boot: vidcontrol: setting cursor type: Inappropriate ioctl for device I _believe_ this is caused by the entry in rc.conf(5) cursor="blink" This entry has always worked fine with sc(4), and as I read it, [should] in vt(4) as well. But the vt(4) man pages seem to be lagging. They discuss oid(s) that don't seem to exist, and I'm unable to determine _what_ I should be doing to get a similar terminal/console as I get w/sc(4). Are there any other docs, or links available to help me with this? Thank you for all your time, and consideration. --Chris P.S. I'm using an Nvidia 8400, w/512Mb ram onboard, as well as the Nvidia blob. If that makes any difference. Thanks again.
