A recent problem I have with NetBSD, building from source, and not only in the 6-STABLE branch, now at 6.1_RC1, is only having one virtual terminal.
Pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2,Ctrl-Alt-F3, etc, has no effect. Now with the upgrade to 6.1_RC1, there is /dev/console and /dev/constty , but still only one virtual terminal. I did etcupdate and postinstall. This happens even with the GENERIC kernel. Is there something missing in the conf/GENERIC configuration file or in usr/src/etc/etc.i386/MAKEDEV.conf? The only way around is to build an X window manager from pkgsrc, using xorg from pkgsrc, having multiple desktops, such as icewm (or many others)? Tom
