Is there a quick fix for this? Granted, this is cosmetic, but in Well, the problem is that syscons is not vt100 compatible - it's a SCO color console compatible emulation (which can be both good and bad). If you want a vt100 console, compile your kernel with the pcvt console driver - examples in /sys/i386/conf/LINT. I also don't know what you mean by "vt100 console" in your message, though if you used pcvt I see no reason why it wouldn't work. Is your TERM type set correctly? -- - Jordan Hubbard FreeBSD core team / Walnut Creek CDROM.
