The whole 'wsconsole' thing could do with some clarification! I
have been
trying for a week to figure how to use 'wsconsole', 'wsfontload' or
anything
else - to restore a console font (any console font!) after exit from
an X
session. And I still haven't got anywhere. Help!
The loss of font is apparently a known fault with Cirrus Logic cards
- and
the README suggests using a couple of Linux things like 'setfont',
'runx'
and 'restorefont'. There must be a way of doing the same stuff with
NetBSD -
or is this an instance where NetBSD hasn't the same capabilities as
Linux ..
