kmscon for Debian
-----------------

The kmscon virtual terminal is not enabled on ttyX by default upon package
installation. You will need to enable it manually.


To enable kmscon:

  # systemctl enable kmsconvt@.service

This would create a symlink of
/etc/systemd/system/autovt@.service -> /usr/lib/system/system/kmsconvt@.service .
All newly-created TTYs will be handled by kmscon.


To disable kmscon and use the default agetty:

  # systemctl disable kmsconvt@.service

This would remove the previously-created symlink.
