By "manual" assume you mean the "Guide". See nothing in the manpages or
guide indicating settings of more than 80Cx50L possible. What have I
missed? Don't see how I can get wscons to do a PC console, only sun and
VT100 are listed. The VT100 function keys are not mapped like pc,
e. g. try midnight commander. Does nbsd i386 grok framebuffer device,
yes or not?
