Dear FreeBSD support, Thanks for the references to vidcontrol etc. Have also studied the German HOWTO on umlauts. Can you please help me solve the remaining issues: 1. can I set mode="80x50" in rc.conf? I didn't find such a variable in the rc.conf man page. 2. ditto with colours e. g. like "vidcontrol green black". Is there a variable for this in rc.conf or must I set up a script? 3. I following the instructions to edit /etc/ttys setting the terminals to 2511 instead of 25. Hoped to get correct border and frame characters for midc but instead, midc and ee refuse to work in 2511 terminals. Had to use vi (worked!) to set the terminals back to 25. Meanwhile, I have to use vidcontrol manually on each console to set colours and mode. And put up with garbage using midc. Thanks and greetings, Lucien To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
