Is anyone actually working on the vt(4) driver?? Will it ever

become feature-parity with the old sc(4) driver?


I've noticed some weird things happening on my console recently...

like psychedelicly-colour-coded kernel messages.. far out, man.


Just wondering,

Thanks for bringing this up. I've been meaning to ask similar.
When building a custom kernel, and including sc(4). Then adding
kern.vt=sc to loader.conf(5). I'm presented with rainbow text. I
wouldn't mind so much *except* that it's color choices, and places
are simply *random*

Thanks in advance for any insight on this. :)

Yes, and yes. What specific missing functionality are you affected by?

I don't think this is related to vt(4), but it would help if you
provided more details (including the version you're running).
