I take it back. The first three columns _are_ rendered, but they don't show up on some monitiors. It's as if those monitors require a minimum amount of overscan on the left side of the screen, and vt(4) doesn't provide enough. Can that be tuned? -Alan _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
