[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #2493] vidcontrol: invalid video mode name

[Sascha Wildner via Redmine <bugtracker-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Issue #2493 has been updated by swildner.


Hmm, in DragonFly it expects a mode first, as in:

vidcontrol 80x50 lightwhite blue

Are you sure it works without a mode in FreeBSD? After a quick peek at their source it didn't look like it would, but maybe the peek was too quick. :)

Hello.

I tried to change foreground/background color of the virt. console (ttyv1) with command `vidcontrol lightwhite black` but haven't got any success. The program reports "vidcontrol: invalid video mode name". The syntax seems to be correct because on FreeBSD (latest) it works fine.

Do I miss something or it's a bug?

Regards, Dmitry.
