            Bug ID: 210434
           Summary: vt(4) default graph mode settings incorrect
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Keywords: vt
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: joeb1@a1poweruser.com

Using vt graph mode as the default console driver effects every 11.0 user. =
It
completely changes the FreeBSD experience. It's detrimental to the public
relations and the professional image of FreeBSD to publish the 11.0-RELEASE
using vt with it's current default setting of graph mode.=20

In graph mode the look of everything shown on the console is different than
what the user is accustomed to seeing and when switching between virtual
consoles there is a 4 second hesitation.=20

vt should default to hw.vga.textmode=3D1 mode to be consistent with previous
RELEASE versions of FreeBSD in what the console display looks like to the u=
ser.
Text mode returns the console behavior look and feel to be just like the (s=
c(4)
console and the hesitation when switching between virtual consoles no longer
happens.
