Since some time (since when ?) the vt has replaced syscons as default, but the i18n section still based on syscons. Recently I had some trouble with localizing my 11.1-STABLE terminal. More about this can be found at https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2017-December/280129.html mail thread. > > The actual question is whether I should rewrite concerned subsections of 22.2 or rather add a new subsection to describe how I managed to configure vt? Even though the oldest supported release (10.3) does include vt(4) support, it's best to do this as a separate section, since syscons(4) is still supported, too. (Syscons provides a couple of features that vt does not, and has some vocal supporters of those features, who would probably not be happy to see the syscons documentation go away.) -Ben
