Hi folks,
vt(4) says:
kern.vty
Set this value to `vt' or `sc' to override the default driver
used for the system console. By default, sc(4) is used on
com-
puters that boot from BIOS, and vt is used on computers that
boot
from UEFI.
Are there any known problems using vt(4) rather than sc(4) on systems
booting with BIOS? One of our folks noticed that sc(4) has a bunch of
dependencies, a bunch of which that are for obsolete hardware (AT
keyboards and their controllers, splash screens, etc), that vt(4) does not.
Thanks,
Ravi
