The alpha >syscons is lagging behind the i386 one considerably. I'm happy with >sys/dev/syscons. syscons badly needs re-organization and modularization. And I am all for /sys/dev/syscons once this is done. However, LKM/KLD screen savers are highly i386-dependent, or i386 video card-dependent, as they are, and won't become much architecture-independent.
