Having done a little more research, I now know that -CURRENT already has
a knob in rc.conf and some magic in rc.i386 to do vidcontrol stuff to
all virtual terminals.
The appropriate code has had 8 months to mature in -CURRENT, I think
it's ready for an MFC. :-)
I've tested the patches that were to the -CURRENT branch, and they apply
perfectly to the -STABLE sources now. I've tested them on my 2.2-STABLE
box with no ill effects.
The diffs are attached below, for your convenience.
Ciao,
Sheldon.
