Hi All,

Since one of the on-going project on the Openbsd site is to "Make X11 work
on PCI VGA cards for machines without BWX".
 I have read through the doco, for switching console using the
[CTRL]+[ALT]+[F*n*],
but still it does not switch to other consoles.

I am using the PCI PBXGB-AA PowerStorm graphics card, which is detected at
boot.

tga0 at pci0 dev 13 function 0 "DEC TGA2" rev 0x22: TGA2 pass 2, board type
T8-02
tag0: 1024 x 768, 8bpp, Bt485 RAMDAC
tga0: interrupting at isa irq 10
wsdisplay0 at tga0: console (std, vt100 emulation)
isa0 at sio0
vga at isa0 port 0x3b0/48 iomem 0xa0000/131072
wsdisplay1 at vga0
wsdisplay1: screen 0-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation)

As well, i have cat /etc/ttys | less to get the following info

Workstation console (framebuffer) ttys
ttyC0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure
ttyC1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure
ttyC2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure
ttyC3 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure
ttyC4 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure
ttyC5 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 off secure

How can I have mutliple consoles working on my Openbsd? Does anyone have any
suggestions where i might of gone wrong?

Thanks all

Troy
