You could script it right after X starts, as such:
vidcontrol -s 1 # Equivalent to Alt-F1
I don't think X is currently designed to start without initializing the
graphics hardware, though, so the initial vt change is probably
unavoidable. Perhaps once KMS trickles down
Thank you for answering. I was fearful of that. Just means another
project.
Related to Kernel Memory Switching I mention of Coreboot on slashdot the
other day and I have to say I'm excited by it more than when it was
called LinuxBIOS, my understanding now being that it isn't a full Linux
kernel buy may eventually become a striped down version of it. I'm
hoping that it evolves into a basic real time kernel of it's own and
initializing drivers. Hopefully the place where all soft firmware for
devices eventually gets loaded rather than in OS drivers; ironically
working with the GPL by downloading it's own initializing drivers
directly. Be nice to have half second boot times.
