VT in v10

[jb_fvwm2]

The FreeBSD-questions list has posts which suggest that the "feature" I discovered today ( vim can run in a small-font vidcontrol without X ...) may not persist, at least at first, in the new version(s) without syscons or some other part of the code upgraded to permit it. [ Partly posting just so persons who use the same terminal, can try it out... (v9 not VT...) if they have not already ].

vt(4) is a replacement for syscons. Rather than use VESA BIOS modes which may or may not be present, it uses the KMS drivers. At present, I don't think there is a way to set the video mode. It uses a default, or remains in the same mode X was using after leaving X.

syscons(4) will still work in the meantime.
