This is all. If you now reboot, you will get six virtual consoles with a login prompt on each. But of course, the console client is not started automatically yet, so you don't see them. Login at the normal system console, and try to attach to the console server, either with the ncurses driver or with the vga/pc\_kbd driver:
- # console -d ncursesw /dev/vts
+ # console -d ncursesw /dev/vcs
or
- # console -d vga -d pc_kbd -d generic_speaker /dev/vts
+ # console -d vga -d pc_kbd -d generic_speaker /dev/vcs
-That should work. The ncursesw driver supports console switching via C-w C-1 (or 2, 3, ...) and you can exit it with C-w x. But I recommend the use of the vga client on the local console.

-The virtual consoles you are now running on are providing an ISO8859-1 environment (also known as latin1), which is good enough for the USA and some countries in Europe. If you require a different encoding for your locale (like, let's say, ISO8859-2), you can specify this as an argument to the console server. I am sorry to say that fsysopts doesn't do the trick yet, so you have to set the option with =settrans -fg=, which will \_terminate all your login sessions and restart the console server\_.

To do this, _first_ exit the client. It will get disconnected anyway (and doesn't attempt to reconnnect yet in such a case). Then do a
