The wiki page needs updating. Look at /sys/ARCH/conf for a VT configuration. If it is there, just build a kernel with: # make buildkernel kernconf=VT && make installkernel kernconf=VT (You probably want to add a reasonable -j option for your hardware to the buildkernel.) If you don't have a VT config file, than just set the kern.vty=vt loadable in /boot/loader.conf. No need to build a new kernel. > > > 2014-07-26 8:14 GMT+02:00 Kevin Oberman <rkober...@gmail.com>: > >> On Fri, Jul 25, 2014 at 3:19 PM, Bykov Vladislav <> <envol...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >>> On Fri, Jul 25, 2014 at 10:43:11PM +0200, Daniele Mazzotti wrote: >>> > The error I get anytime I try to switch between terminals is the >>> following >>> > one " drmDropMaster failed: Unknown error: -22" >>> This is okay, if you can't switch back to tty after starting Xorg in KMS >>> mode using old syscons driver.
