I am running no mods to console. I am attaching the kernel configuration
file and dmesg in case they help. I suspect that **something** changed
between 4.1.1 and 4.2 which is when I discovered the problem here. I have
been running the same hardware since version 3.  I'd send my system to you
for testing purposes but would it be enough help if you had root access?
It's the next best thing to sending the machine.

I've tried both of those things, and I also just did a buildworld with
the output going to console as suggested by Kees Jan Koster & I never
saw the problem.

My setup is as follows:
- API UP1000 (dmesg appended)
- 4.3-BETA as of yesterday morning, GENERIC +sound drivers +ddb
- console on (vga) graphics head
- no console customizations via vidcontrol, kbdcontrol, etc.
- no screen savers

Are any of you who are seeing this customizing the console in any way?
Colors, screensavers, fonts, etc?  Or are you running a base 80x25
white-on-black console like me?  How about kernel config options
to syscons?

I'd really like to fix this, but if I cannot reproduce it, fixing it is
going to be next to impossible.
