Hi Alexei,
1) Machine booted with monitor present, colours at glass consoles.
2) Remove monitor & reboot over serial line.
3) Connect monitor, no colours at glass console (Ctrl+Alt+F1-4)
$ tput colors
8
4) On ttyC2 do:
$ cat /tmp/am
wsconscfg -d -F 1 && wsconscfg -t 80x25 -e vt100 1
$ sudo ksh /tmp/am
(80x25bf gave errors about ttyC1 device not configured)
5) Login on ttyC1 (Ctrl-Alt-F2), no colours
$ tput colors
8
6) Reboot it.
7) Login on ttyC1 (Ctrl-Alt-F2), has colours again.
Could it be a hardware thing about VGA port resistance when it boots?
Thanks.
