What's the trick to making it work in 12.0 VM guest (Hyper-V / Windows Server 2012 R2 host)? It looks like the hyper-v modules are built by default but this command displays no available options: vidcontrol -i mode I want to configure a thin console font like this: Thanks!

Hello, vim or emacs are "single" oriented monitor. Eventually one can use screen but the text editor works on a single monitor anyhow. Do you know a possible multihead terminal-based text editor? Concept would be that each monitor can open a file and they works alltogether (copy/cut,...) in a...

Hello friends, Yesterday I got FreeBSD installed on a new computer. I was content with the huge, square console that doesn't fit my screen right for a few hours but it's beginning to bug me and I don't like the font. I've read through the various manpages (vt, vidcontrol, etc, and I thought I...

Hello everyone! Before installing FreeBSD 11.0 on my ThinkPad X31, I had met difficulties with supporting Russian language (Cyrillic script) text in console: specifically, it didn’t happen to support UTF-8, so I have had to use the now-obsolete KOI8-R both on console and in X11. This changed...

Hello! I have been lucky when it comes to fonting. There is just thing I wonder that I haven't been able to figure out and that is why some fonts in terminal look like an alphabet soup when used: That is me trying the rumored 'Helvetica' and that is just an example of some fonts putting the...

I really like how well the autocompletion together with history works on the default FreeBSD csh shell. Wondering about the backup of command line history in .cshrc set history = 8000 set savehist = (8000 merge) So after 8000 commands it auto saves and starts a new .history file?

I've got my hands on an Apple "Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5" (PowerMac11,2) with a GeForce 6600LE. It's connected with a DVI-to-HDMI-Cable to my LG 4K monitor (it's the only one I have). Booting Mac OS X 10.4 works without a problem, but it's not of much use to me, so I decided to install FreeBSD. I...
