No I/O on the VT220: no output on the screen, and nothing I typed went to the machine. I used a VGA card (S3 Trio64V+) and a standard PS/2 keyboard, and this worked. I tried several combinations and the behaviour (with or without keyboard) was much similar to what I could get with the Multia, except that the VT remained blank. I tried a "set console serial", to no avail. I cannot do much testing now, since the box is my firewall/primary DNS/mail server, and I gave the VT220 to somebody else. Anyway, thanks for all the answers. When I get the IPC (hopefully in two or three weeks) I will try this out. --Thomas Pornin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
