	Actually, I think I found what's going on here.  Double-check this, please?
	1) I've installed the new Xorg.
	2) New Xorg requires KMS.
	3) KMS requires newcons.
	4) Current kernel uses syscons.

	I will test this theory as soon as I can get buildworld (and then 
buildkernel) to work.
	Please stand by for further developments.
