SC_KERNEL_CON_ATTRS 12.0

[l2f]

Dear,

I try to change the color of the cursor for 12.0-RELEASE I changed in my kernel file (amd64)
from

SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTRS=\"\x0c\x0d\x0e\x0f\x02\x09\x0a\x0b\"

to

options         SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTRS=\"\x0f\"

I did the compilation and installed my new kernel but the cursor still RED

I looked into the manpages (syscons, vt and sc), read NOTES and LINT too and found nothing googling

Any help will be great.

Regards,

l2f

Recent FreeBSD versions have switched to vt(4) by default. The settings you're trying to change are for sc(4).

Dear,

Great, I will have a look to vt stuff

On 11.2 serie sc is the default, so on 12.X is vt ?

Actually vt(4) was default console starting with FreeBSD 11.0. You can switch back to sc(4) with a simple loader setting.
echo kern.vty=sc >> /boot/loader.conf

For console color settings on vt you saw the manual setting right?
TERMINAL_KERN_ATTR=

Thx,
Go back to sc because vt has a poor splashscreen support for now.
