The 'blip' is usually when the framebuffer graphics driver turns on and changes the video mode. Since you are not seeing any difference, either the framebuffer driver is failing, or you are now using just the plain vga driver instead of something more advanced (like vesafb-tng). Take a look at what you have under "Device Drivers->Graphics Support", the answer is probably in there. Note that later in startup it is possible for the font size to change, without a 'blip', when the consolefont service runs. This is configured by /etc/conf.d/consolefont. -Richard -- [email protected] mailing list
