================
>Description:
syscons(4) and sc(4) references non-existant "/usr/include/machine/pc/display.h"
file for users to get color values from (for setting driver options
in kernel configuration).
Tag-along: The man pages are identical and probably waste storage.

>How-To-Repeat:
<code/input/activities to reproduce the problem (multiple lines)>
================
>Fix:
Apply this PR/patch to the source file. I notice that the two man
pages are hard links of each other. I don't know how handle the
patching, but this should be close.
patch -d "some uncompressed man/man4 dir" < this-PR
As for the tag-along (see above), I don't know how to "link" man
pages together in the compressed form. ("gnudoit" unsuccessfully
attempts to do it with ".so man1/gnuserv.1" and I failed with
".so man4/sc.4.gz".)
