Would that mean that I have to add the font (FONT_SPLEEN12x24) to the /usr/share/wscons/fonts directory and be able to use these fonts? No need to compile a kernel with that font (since I am using 9.2 stable)? > > > Yes I tried that, but was not able to change the font for some reason. > > I must be missing something.

But it is saying Device not configured ttyE1: wsconscfg: /dev/ttyE1: DEvice not configured and I did remove the setvars (commenting these out again) and it showed. wsconscfg WSDISPLAYIO_ADDSCREEN: Device not configured Will try to get wscons working. > > -RVP Riza
