video mode change always reset terminal mode to xterm.
It allows things like 'vidcontrol -T cons25 80x30' works as supposed,
and allows 'allscreens_flags="-T cons25 80x30"' in /etc/rc.conf too.

While there, remove the false optimisation of the colors array. It seems
that changing it to an array of pointers instead of a 16x16 array does
not cause any increase in binary size at all.
This will make it more easy for people to experiment with TERM=xterm.
Instead of echoing these strange escape sequences, I can just instruct
them to run `vidcontrol -T xterm'.
24, and 32 bit modes. To use that, syscons(4) must be built with
the compile time option 'options SC_PIXEL_MODE', and VESA support (a.k.a.
vesa.ko) must be either loaded, or be compiled into the kernel.
Do not return EINVAL when the mouse state is changed to what it already is,
which seems to cause problems when you have two mice attached, and
applications are not likely obtain useful information through the EINVAL
caused by showing the mouse pointer twice.
Teach vidcontrol(8) about mode names like MODE_<NUMBER>, where <NUMBER> is
the video mode number from the vidcontrol -i mode output. Also, revert the
video mode if something fails.

- Use foo(void) instead of foo().
- Use static where applicable.
- Apply more const's when passing parameters
- signed/unsigned madness
- Avoid namespace collision by adding underscores.
- For 64-bit architectures, use %zx instead of %x
when necessary.
- When storing constants, use const instead of
variable.
- Bump WARNS?= from 2 to 6
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.

case use size of the currently displaying font as a suffix. For example,
when the when the size of the currently displayed font is 8x8 the
following command will load koi8-r-8x8.fnt.
# vidcontrol -f koi8-r

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.

Replace all in-tree uses with necessary subset of <sys/{fb,kb,cons}io.h>.
This is also the appropriate fix for exo-tree sources.
Put warnings in <machine/console.h> to discourage use.
November 15th 2000 the warnings will be converted to errors.
January 15th 2001 the <machine/console.h> files will be removed.
- Accept generic video mode names: 80x25, 80x30, etc. Specific video
mode names, VGA_80x25, VESA_132x25, are still accpeted too.
- Update the man page accordingly.

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.

them as ints. Among other bugs, doing so at best caused benign
overflow followed by fatal sign extension on machines with 32-bit
ints and 64-bit longs.
life easier if a PS/2 mouse locks up the keyboard (frequent-ish,
but not repeatable).
Tidy up code (a bit) and make it -Wall
Is this a 2.2 candidate ? (although it doesn't -Wall in 2.2 because
of the lack of sys/sysproto.h
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
