I do have a custom kernel config, but the only changes that I've done to the syscons part are: +options MAXCONS=8 # number of virtual consoles +options SC_ALT_MOUSE_IMAGE # simplified mouse cursor in text mode +options SC_DISABLE_REBOOT # disable reboot key sequence +options SC_HISTORY_SIZE=100 # small number of history buffer lines +options SC_PIXEL_MODE # add support for the raster text mode +options SC_TWOBUTTON_MOUSE # use right button to paste text To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
