Hi, I use FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE on a ThinkPad T530. Most of the time, I run it connected to 2 external screens:
- one via miniDP -> HDMI (1920x1080)
- the other one via VGA -> VGA (1440x900)
- the built-in laptop screen is turned off (LVDS - 1366x768)
Here are the relevant lines of my
My problem is that I can't access any TTY with
However when the laptop is running on LVDS-1 only I can access TTYs just fine as it should be. I use x11/slim as a login manager.
Here is my /etc/ttys:
And here is my /usr/local/etc/slim.conf:
- one via miniDP -> HDMI (1920x1080)
- the other one via VGA -> VGA (1440x900)

[...]My problem is that I can't access any TTY with
Ctrl + Alt + F[number] when LVDS-1 is off. Instead my X display just freezes until I get back to Ctrl + Alt + F9 which I guess is my Xorg TTY. This is a problem when occasionally my WM is stuck because this forces a full reboot instead of simply being able to kill the Xorg server from the shell.However when the laptop is running on LVDS-1 only I can access TTYs just fine as it should be. I use x11/slim as a login manager.
