Hi!

   
   Easy MiNT came without virtual consoles and imho that is a big drawback.
So here is a easy way to add them to your Easy MiNT setup: 

1. - Depack easycons.tar.gz
2. - Copy all files (nice, ttytab and vcons1d) to proper folders
     (easyvcons.tar.gz will extract with folders, just copy files to
     your real /sbin, /usr/bin and /etc folders)
3. - Insert little script bellow to your rc.local file (/etc/rc.d/rc.local)


   U may switch on/off desired consoles by editing the /etc/ttytab file. This 
file is inherited from KGMD setup, but i removed all what's not vcons related.

   That should be all, and u just need to reboot.. Good luck!

 WARNING: Evl's vconsd are Falcon only and use expanded resolution! Use carefuly,
because they can cause damage on older monitors! Use easyvcons package on your own
risk.


---------- Insert this into your rc.local (/etc/rc.d/rc.local) file -----------


#
# Starting virtual consoles (vcons1d)
#
# Vcon, vconx or vconsd may be started as alternative.
# 
VCON=vcons1d.original   # Original vcons driver 
#VCON=vcons1d-evl      	# Evl's vcons driver
#VCON=your-vcons-driver	# Some other driver

vt=con
if [ -f /sbin/${VCON} ]; then
	echo -n " Starting virtual-consoles: "
	TERM=vt52 ; export TERM
	if nice -20 ${VCON}; then
		mv /dev/console /dev/con00
		mv /dev/ttyv0 /dev/console
		vt=vt
	fi
fi
ln -f /etc/ttytab.$vt /etc/ttytab

echo "${VCON}."
echo


# Set the TT's console into auto-wrap mode. (Why
# does the TT start up without auto-text-wrap?)
#
# echo -n "v"
