This page describes additional things to be done to a FreeBSD setup for my TV computer, currently called teevee.lemis.com. It should be used in conjunction with the main upgrade page.

The steps:

• Log in automatically as grog. Modify /etc/ttys to contain:

  ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty autogrog" cons25 on  secure

  /etc/gettytab gets:

        autogrog|al.9600:\
          :al=grog:tc=std.9600:
  

• Ensure that ~/.bashrc contains:

  if [ "$HOSTNAME" = "teevee" -o "$HOSTNAME" = "tiwi" ]; then
    if [ "`tty`" = "/dev/ttyv0" ]; then
    # On teevee, start X automatically from ttyv0.
      echo -n ASKPASS: $SSH_ASKPASS, tty
      tty
      # The < /dev/null bypasses interactive prompting and gets the
      # passphrase from $SSH_ASKPASS.  The DISPLAY is required.
      eval `ssh-agent` >/dev/null
      DISPLAY=:0 ssh-add < /dev/null
      DISPLAY=:0 startx -- -listen tcp &
    elif [ `tty` = "/dev/pts/0" ]; then
      xmodmap ~/.xmodmap
    fi
