At the moment, yes, there is a change that is necessary.  If the X server
and dt use the native wscons interface, they work fine.  I'm now working out
grf compatibility, which presents a special challenge in that wscons screen
devices can't be mmap()'ed if a tty emulation is enabled on the device.
This isn't a problem with the ite because both X and dt bypass it and go
directly to the grf device.
