As a curious beginner I am running FreeBSD on VMWare Fusion 3.1.2 on a
MacBook Pro 13'' i5, and I want to do two things on the normal (startup)
console:
(1) use my apple keyboard, especially, scroll through console output
man syscons | less -p'Back Scrolling'
(2) have a screen resolution of at least 800x600.
vidcontrol(1) can set different modes, potentially including
VESA_800x600. What's available depends on the video card BIOS and
you'll probably have to build a kernel with SC_PIXEL_MODE.
Both things seem to be no particular problem in X11, however, I cannot find
advices for the normal console.
Unless you're trying to emulate a machine without X11 for a particular
purpose, xterms are more versatile than consoles. It's probably
possible to get a console-like stack of fullscreen xterms with one of
the mouseless window managers.
