Hello, It may sound silly: nobody use console these days (except emergency), but I am curious: I want to load font and set it using wsconsctl display.font I also want to change display type.
I can do all of that in rc.local, but there is a separeate place for wsconsctl : /etc/wsconsctl.conf I want to use it, but I can't set font.display there because it is called by rc, hence before rc.local, before my font loaded. And there is no place for wsconscfg except rc.local. In NetBSD they solved it by having separate file for all wscons* stuff https://www.daemon-systems.org/man/wscons.conf.5.html In FreeBSD they set everything in rc.conf And OpenBSD has: 1) /etc/kbdtype for kbd (its weird because I can use keyboard.ecnoding in /etc/wsconsctl.conf) 2) /etc/wsconsctl.conf (for everything else exception font loading and virtual display management) So, there is no place for fonts. And there is no place for wsconscfg (if I want to creareate display changing its type I should set it to rc.local) I like NetBSD approach here, and it seems that it can be implemented using simple ksh or perl script. One may say that is it too complicated: why create separate config file for something that could be done with 3 lines in rc.local. But then why do we have /etc/kbdtype and /etc/wsconsctl.conf ? Ilya
