Hi,
Is it just me or is there something wrong with vidcontrol(1) in
base/head, amd64, sc console, r268165?
First, I had to specify absolute pathnames for the font8x16, font8x14,
and font8x8 variables in /etc/rc.conf before vidcontrol(1) would load
anything, and next, vidcontrol(1), when run by /etc/rc.d/syscons,
complains about:
Bad magic
vidcontrol: failed to load font
"/usr/share/syscons/fonts/iso-8x16.fnt": No error: 0
Bad magic
vidcontrol: failed to load font
"/usr/share/syscons/fonts/iso-8x14.fnt": No error: 0
Bad magic
vidcontrol: failed to load font
"/usr/share/syscons/fonts/iso-8x8.fnt": No error: 0
I wouldn't rule out pilot error on my part, but r267957 worked
flawlessly in this regard.
I guess with both sc and vt in the kernel, line 220 of
usr.sbin/vidcontrol/vidcontrol.c needs a slight adjustment.
The same adjustment will be needed at line 150 of
usr.sbin/kbdcontrol/kbdcontrol.c.
I don't believe that building a kernel for both vt and sc is supported, so
I'm not surprised that it does not work.
I would like to know how you intend to use such a kernel. I'm not sure I
see a case where having both would be useful and it looks like keeping them
straight would be rather a problem.
GENERIC is such a kernel as of a few days ago. The idea is to provide a
transition mechanism for people who want syscons for whatever reason but
also want to, say, use KMS drivers or boot with EFI without building a
new kernel.
