Hello.

I tried to change foreground/background color of the virt. console (ttyv1) with command `vidcontrol lightwhite black` but haven't got any success. The program reports "vidcontrol: invalid video mode name". The syntax seems to be correct because on FreeBSD (latest) it works fine.

Do I miss something or it's a bug?

Regards, Dmitry.

I am sorry for my english, it's still very poor.
Hope that my message is understandable.
