Reed) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: PCVT console driver and virtual consoles Date: 27 Oct 1995 14:52:46 GMT Organization: Texas A&M Department of Computer Engineering, College Station, TX Lines: 17 Message-ID: <46qrnu$4sb@news.tamu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: sparc71.cs.tamu.edu I've compiled support for the PCVT console driver, and so far it's worked fine, except for the fact that I can't switch between virtual consoles using the alt-function key combination. I would assume that this can be done, especially since I've found the PCVT_NSCREENS option in pcvt_conf.h. I did put this line in the kernel config and specified a number of virtual consoles to support before compiling the kernel. So what more need I do to get virtual consoles using this driver? And just for the sake of completeness - do I need to update any of the entries in /etc/ttys? -- -Brad Reed mbreed@tamu.edu
