Ok, syscons changes are committed.  As I warned you before, you need
to update your kernel configuration file.

If you are using syscons,

controller 	atkbdc0	at isa? port IO_KBD tty
device		atkbd0	at isa? tty irq 1
#device		psm0	at isa? tty irq 12
device		vga0	at isa? port ? conflicts
device		sc0	at isa? tty

pseudo-device	splash

Note that `splash' is required if you intend to use screen savers or
splash screen.  (I forgot to mention this in the previous warning
message, sorry.)

If you are pcvt user,

controller 	atkbdc0	at isa? port IO_KBD tty
device		atkbd0	at isa? tty irq 1
#device		psm0	at isa? tty irq 12
device		vt0	at isa? tty

The following options for syscons are replaced by new ones.

SC_ALT_SEQACCESS->	VGA_ALT_SEQACCESS
SLOW_VGA 	->	VGA_SLOW_IOACCESS

The following flags for syscons are no longer available.

0x08    Force detection of keyboard.
0x10    Old-style (XT) keyboard support.
0x20    Don't reset keyboard.

Use corresponding new flags for atkbd instead.

0x01    Don't install the keyboard driver if no keyboard is found,
	else we always assume a keyboard.
0x02    Don't reset keyboard.
0x04    XT keyboard support.

You must recompile screen saver modules and the vesa module in
/sys/modules, as well as kbdcontrol and vidcontrol in
/usr/src/usr.sbin.

Thank you for your cooperation.
