vt(4) is a new console driver which brings features such as:
o Support for Unicode and double-width characters
o Integration with the KMS kernel video drivers
o Support for UEFI
You may need to update your console settings in /etc/rc.conf, most
probably the keymap. During boot, /etc/rc.d/syscons will indicate what
you need to do.
vt(4) still has issues and lacks some features compared to syscons(4).
See the wiki for up-to-date information:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons
If you want to keep using syscons(4), you can do so by adding the
following line to /boot/loader.conf:
kern.vty=sc

Leave the agp_intel.c out of static compilation on amd64, it makes the
things consistent with agp.ko.

500 new testcases
Various TODOs have been sprinkled around the Makefiles for items that even need
to be ported (missing features), testcases have issues with building/linking, or
issues at runtime.
A variant of this code has been tested extensively on amd64 and i386
10-STABLE/11-CURRENT for several months without issue. It builds on other
architectures, but the code will remain off until I have prove it works on
virtual hardware or real hardware on other architectures

This Makefile snippet handles polluting testcases with -lnetbsd, specific
headers for ATF version differences, and does necessary rewriting for the
testcases to match the format discussed on the TestSuite wiki page
(t_<foo> -> <foo>_test)
One must define SRCTOP (inspired by projects/bmake), OBJTOP, and TESTSRC
(e.g. contrib/netbsd-tests/lib/libc/gen) to use the Makefile snippet
Test programs are specific either via NETBSD_ATF_TESTS_C or NETBSD_ATF_TESTS_SH
C++ analogs aren't currently implemented.
The imported testcases will be cleaned up to use this Makefile snippet pseudo
"API".
In most cases, the buffers and data were resized, but when dealing with the
helpers, some of the code was adjusted to fail more reliably

- The blocksize on FreeBSD is 32kB, not 64kB
- Add some detection for MK_DICT == no; /nonexistent is echoed along with
atf_skip to ensure that the test will fail if dict(..) is called in the
non-final stage of the pipeline

Those tunables are used to set a specific mode in vt(4) instead of using
the default mode.

... and their associated tunables. This gives a way to know the list of
available connectors, no matter the driver.
The problem is that xrandr(1) can list connectors but it uses a
different naming.

Impact on capability races was small: it was possible to get a spurious
ENOTCAPABLE (early return), but it was not possible to bypass checks.
Tidy up some comments.
875. This intersects with the agp_i810.c, which supports all Intels
from i810 to Core i5/7. Both agp_intel.c and agp_i810.c are compiled
into kernel when device agp is specified in config, and agp_i810
attach seems to be selected by chance due to linking order.
Strip support for 810 and later from agp_intel.c. Since 440-class
chipsets do not support any long-mode capable CPUs, remove agp_intel.c
from amd64 kernel file list. Note that agp_intel.c is not compiled
into agp.ko on amd64 already.

By default, vt(4) gets the "preferred mode" from DRM, when using a DRM
video driver as its backend. The preferred mode is usually the native
screen resolution.
Now, if this mode isn't appropriate, a user can use loader tunables to
select a mode. The tunables are read in the following order:
1. kern.vt.fb.modes.$connector_name
2. kern.vt.fb.default_mode
For example, to set a 1024x768 mode, no matter the connector:
kern.vt.fb.default_mode="1024x768"
To set a 800x600 mode only on the laptop builtin screen:
kern.vt.fb.modes.LVDS-1="800x600"
