1) Removed the low-level (unneeded in this context) details on
escape sequences that are already documented in screen(4).
2) Removed whitespace at EOL.
3) Removed the garbage from previous revision.
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.
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.
Approved by: -audit, -hackers (silently)
- Sort xrefs.
- FreeBSD.ORG -> FreeBSD.org
- Be consistent with section names as outlined in mdoc(7).
- Other misc mdoc cleanup.

While mpp kindly checked grammar and spelling, any technical errors
remaining in the man pages are entirely of mine.
- 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.

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
Removed screensavers from syscons, they are now LKM's. This makes it
possible to do some really "interesting" screensavers...
Fixed bug that sometimes caused garbage to appear when leaving
"scroll-lock" history.
Reformattet indentation, it got too deep for a normal 80 pos screen.
Split up in syscons.c & syscons.h for use with the saver-lkm's.
Temporarily removed -s option from vidcontrol, savers should now
be loaded with modload.
No kernel config options anymore besides keyboard language layout.
Virtual consoles are now dynamically allocated, no NCONS anymore.
Software cursor blinking/nonblinking.
Visual bell for laptops (don't beep at meetings :-).
Cursor/bell default type setable via config "flags" instead of as defines.
Cursor/bell type setable via ioctl's.
New video modes 80x30 80x60 for some laptops, and those with multisync monitors.
Scroll-lock history (length currently fixed at 100 lines).
Lots of cleanups, some only commented out for now (will goaway soon).
Support for new features in vidcontrol/kbdcontrol.
Updated manpages.
