I had a (fruitless) hunch - on most of those SXCE systems I've had remote consoles (serial or IPMI) and used vtdaemon to also have a text login on physical screen/keyboard.
I've tried to boot the laptop with console=(text|graphics|ttya) and with no console setting, but these did not help. In ttya mode (laptop has no serial ports) I got text output from SMF scripts echoed to /dev/console. In graphics mode I got a blank text-mode screen for a couple of minutes until I got the GDM login. Text mode and no console setting were identical for me (perhaps due to bootenv.rc, which I'll now untweak). I begin to wonder if virtual terminals somehow depend on some graphics capabilities of the video card, and the AMD E2 CPU/GPU built-in Radeon is not good enough (it is only a VESA VGA for X). This sounds crazy even to me, but might explain the symptoms ;) Puzzled... //Jim _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
