I just CVSUP'd 2.2.6-STABLE and rebuilt and installed everything,
including the new kernel. Suddenly, the local console display tears
horribly - rather like something turns sync on and off. It happens when
scrolling or changing attributes (like scrolling up and down in Pine,
where you're repainting lines in reverse video) or moving around the
screen in pico, not 100% of the time, but enough to make it really hard to
stay sane. It's like it is turning off sync or changing whenever is
processes certain keystrokes (cursor movement, mostly).

Running an old and venerable Oak VGA card (tried several monitors in case
that was the problem), 486DX2-66, VLB motherboard. I've been running FBSD
for some time and have never seen this problem until now. I scanned thru
the pcvt code and didn't see any magical new flags or options.
