 -> Put this in /boot/loader.conf to use the older syscons(4) console
driver by default and reboot:
   kern.vty="sc"


This lists the missing functionality in the new vt(4) driver such as
screensaver:

console screen saver broken? -current

2014-12-11 Thread Alfred Perlstein 
Up until a few months ago the following added to /etc/rc.conf would 
blank the screen:


# /etc/rc.conf
saver="green"
allscreens_flags="-t 60"

Now that no longer works.

Can someone explain how to restore the power saving screen saver please?

It doesn't seem obvious from the docs or anything else.

Are the current "green_saver.ko" and other screen saver modules still 
able to blank the screen?


Do splash screen work?
