356168f5cc Document the fact that VTY locking is easily bypassable when DDB
is compiled in the kernel.  Also add some useful xrefs to lock(1).

b471ed9e9d Add an -S option that allows the user to disable vty switching. It is
implemented using a new VT_LOCKSWITCH ioctl.  Although it is possible
to implement something like this by VT_SETMODEing to VT_PROCESS and
never releasing the vty, that method has a number of downsides, the
biggest of which is that some program has to stay resident for the
lock to be in effect.

c4d9468ea0 mdoc(7) police:
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

5e0db936b5 Allow user to omit font size specification when loading a font. In addition
the following fixes had been made:

- check the size of the font being loaded and compare it with possible sizes
  to minimise possibility of loading something that is not a fontfile at all
  and turning console screen into garbage;

- prevent buffer overflow (and coredump as a result ) when loading valid
  uuencoded file with size that exceeds allocated buffer;

- correct and improve several error messages.

a8445737e7 Add VESA support to syscons.
Kazu writes:

The VESA support code requires vm86 support. Make sure your kernel
configuration file has the following line.
        options "VM86"
If you want to statically link the VESA support code to the kernel,
add the following option to the kernel configuration file.
        options "VESA"

The vidcontrol command now accepts the following video mode names:
VESA_132x25, VESA_132x43, VESA_132x50, VESA_132x60, VESA_800x600

The VESA_800x600 mode is a raster display mode. The 80x25 text will
be displayed on the 800x600 screen. Useful for some laptop computers.

vidcontrol accepts the new `-i <info>' option, where <info> must be
either `adapter' or `mode'.  When the `-i adapter' option is given,
vidcontrol will print basic information (not much) on the video
adapter. When the `-i mode' option is specified, vidcontrol will
list video modes which are actually supported by the video adapter.
