Bug ID: 261914
Summary: vt newcons fails if a non-KMS xorg graphics driver is
being used
Product: Base System
Version: Unspecified
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: sblachm...@gmail.com
This vt newcons bug is old, help-seeking users regularly complain about it on
the FreeBSD forums, and I just don't understand why the bug still is there.
When used in graphics mode, switching from xorg to vt newcons results in a
display of colored boxes.
When used in text mode (hw.vga.textmode=1), vt newcons is usable when switching
to console. But, after exiting xorg, vt newcons fails until user switches
between consoles using ALT-Fn, which makes vt newcons work again.
