Bug 75159

Summary: (SC|VGA)_NO_FONT_LOADING in kernel config breaks vtys.
Product: Base System Reporter: mwm
Component: kernAssignee: Craig Rodrigues <rodrigc>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: 5.3-STABLE   
Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description mwm 2004-12-16 17:10:12 UTC 
	When booting a kernel that uses the sc device for a console,
and either VGA_NO_FONT_LOADING or SC_NO_FONT_LOADING enabled and
running an xdm on one of the VTYs, the non-X vtys come up with no
visible font. Further, on shutdown the console is garbaged.

I have no idea if this problem happens or not if you fail to start an
X server. It may not.

Fix: 

The work-around is to not enable those two options. I haven't
	had time to look into fixing the problem, but will if I find
	the time.
How-To-Repeat: 	Build a kernel with either of those two options enabled, boot
	it, and run an X server. Then switch to a different vty, and
	observe that you either get garbage on the screen, or that no
	characters are printed.

Does this still happen in FreeBSD 6 BETA-5?
