>Description:
The screenblank command doesn't work. Whenever I run it, say, by enabling
it in rc.conf, I get this error:

screenblank: can't open /dev/wskbd0: Device busy

I don't have a mouse on this machine. If I tell screenblank to ignore
the keyboard I get an error about the mouse not being configured, which
seems reasonable. 


Incidentally, the man page for screenblank talks about /dev/fb and how
/dev/fb is the default framebuffer. Is that still correct? (I don't know.)
>How-To-Repeat:
# /usr/sbin/screenblank

Dunno, sorry.
