I wonder.. I'm running -CURRENT on my laptop since a week or 2 now
(I've been a -current user for years on my big machine) and I wonder
if I can enable graphical modes on my virtual console ?

booting with -v gives me these lines:
	fb0: vga0, vga, type:VGA (5), flags:0x700ff
	fb0: port:0x3c0-0x3df, crtc:0x3d4, mem:0xa0000 0x20000
	fb0: init mode:24, bios mode:3, current mode:24
	fb0: window:0xc00b8000 size:32k gran:32k, buf:0 size:32k

So, now the only question (I hope) would be, how to enable graphical
consoles at all if they are supported. I haven't found anything in
/boot/loader.conf or any other startup/kernel related configs.

Anyone ?
