I doubt that it is related to some XFree86 problem. I suppose it is
related to WSCONS. My kernel configuration looks like this:

#
# wscons options
#
# builtin terminal emulations
#options 	WSEMUL_SUN		# sun terminal emulation
options 	WSEMUL_VT100		# VT100 / VT220 emulation
# different kernel output - see dev/wscons/wsdisplayvar.h
#options 	WS_KERNEL_FG=WSCOL_GREEN
#options 	WS_KERNEL_BG=WSCOL_BLACK
# compatibility to other console drivers
options 	WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_PCVT		# emulate some ioctls
options 	WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_SYSCONS	# emulate some ioctls
options 	WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_USL		# VT handling
options 	WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD		# can get raw scancodes
# see dev/pckbc/wskbdmap_mfii.c for implemented layouts
#options 	PCKBD_LAYOUT="(KB_DE | KB_NODEAD)"
# allocate a number of virtual screens at autoconfiguration time
#options 	WSDISPLAY_DEFAULTSCREENS=4
# use a large software cursor that doesn't blink
#options 	PCDISPLAY_SOFTCURSOR
# modify the screen type of the console; defaults to "80x25"
#options 	VGA_CONSOLE_SCREENTYPE="\"80x24\""

Note that I disable the console color stuff. And that's my "wsconf.conf":

screen	1	-	vt100
screen	2	-	vt100
screen	3	-	vt100
screen	4	-	vt100
screen	5	-	vt100
screen	6	-	vt100
screen	7	-	vt100

The X11 server is launched by "xdm" on the 7th screen.

	Kind regards
