It's long been a wish of mine to have an ability to decide at boot time that a system should boot in "console-only" mode. That is, that no graphics/X applications like e.g. xdm/kdm/gdm are automatically started even when they are configured to do so.
Here is my attempt at implementing that: https://gitorious.org/~avg/freebsd/avgbsd/commit/96f7051d63d4286ef6f0196d241e7855338a6ed7?format=patch All the option does at boot time is setting of 'inhibit_gui' variable for kernel environment. I envision that this variable could be properly and gracefully handled in various startup scripts and/or application startup logic. But to ensure that the option is always honored I've also added "ultimate protection" to syscons that prohibits KDSETMODE/KD_GRAPHICS ioctl. What do you think? -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
