Instead of the > documentation through implications? This is not a "common feature". About 25% of our platforms support multiple consoles. Multiple text consoles are an exception, not the rule. I think that is pretty clear in the FAQ article. Unfortunately, as probably 90% of our users use *one* of those sixteen platforms, they tend to assume every other computer in the world is just like that one. Unfortunately, no wording I have ever discovered will get people to quit treating their Macintosh, their SPARC or their mvme88k like i386s. Documenting which features of i386 systems are not on every other platform would read like the _Iliad's_ "Catalog of ships" that we all skipped through to get back to the blood, guts and sex, and documentation that no one will read doesn't do the job...

Re: Apple iBook
Would it not follow the rule of least suprise to explicitly document that a common feature is not available on a specific platform. Instead of the documentation through implications?

If it's detecting them as brightness and sound volume, you probably need to hold down 'Fn' while you do ctrl-alt-f1.

Hi, I've tried googling but with little success, I am trying to use virtual terminals (console), but I could get ctrl+alt+f1 to work. From what I see in the dmesg, it detects those keys such as F1 as a device for brightness and sound volume. How do I solve this?

Apple iBook 300
Hi, I've installed OpenBSD 3.7 on iBook 300 from official CD. But in booting and Xorg, I get below messages. method not found; ihandle=ffbc9600 phandle=ff93b470 method not found; ihandle=ffbc9600 phandle=ff93b470 method not found; ihandle=ffbc9600 phandle=ff93b470 I want to control backlight and contrast. Has anyone got any advice? I use GENERIC kernel. Dmesg output is below.
