- Identify the console driver used and print syscons or vt as appropriate.
- If vt is used and a keymap could not be loaded, then try to replace the
keymap name configured in rc.conf based on a replacement list in this
script. Warn about the fact, that a syscons keyname is configured and
report the replacement used under vt.
- If no replacement keymap is found, no keymap is loaded and a warning
is displayed, which points at the conversion script and allows the
conversion of keymaps not part of the official distribution.
This patch has been sent to the -hackers list for review, but no comment
has been received, yet. It is tested to work under syscons and vt on my
system (on vt with either the syscons or vt keymap file name in rc.conf).

The code looks for all the loaded screensaver modules, tries to
kldunload them, and only loads the new one if kldstat's output shows
that there aren't any left. However, the regexp looking for modules
to unload was still searching according to the the old naming scheme,
splash_<name>.ko, instead of <name>_saver.ko.

into one function syscons_configure_keyboard(). Call new function from
both syscons_start() and sysconst_setkeyboard(). The reason for this
is because syscons_start() will (re)configure both keyboard and screen
settings. Apparently, some graphics cards have problems with running
vidcontrol(1) while X11 is running.
Remove "/etc/rc.d/syscons restart" from /etc/devd.conf. It is no longer
required. Using "/etc/rc.d/syscons setkeyboard" is enough. This also
should fix annoying "syscons not running?" message.

keyboard device name (i.e. /dev/kbd0). This method will do nothing is
kbdmux(4) is the current active keyboard, otherwise it will switch
active keyboard as requested.
Modify ukbd(4) entries in the /etc/devd.conf to use /etc/rc.d/syscons
and new 'setkeyboard' method.
