            Bug ID: 261909
           Summary: vt newcons / drm-kmod: hw.vga.textmode is ignored if
                    drm-kmod driver is loaded
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: sblachmann@gmail.com

If one loads the drm-kmod driver (i915kms, radeonkms, amdgpu) to make
suspend/resume work, then the vt newcons setting "hw.vga.textmode" is ignored.

This is very annoying, as with high resolution screens the letters become very
small and hard-to-read.

For people with bad eyesight, this is very annoying.
And this is also aggravated by the fact that vt, unlike sc, only allows
white-on-black negative display, but no ergonomic positive display, as it
ignores any custom color settings, see
