Cool, sort of. The problem with wscons is that it means you are the
console. I've had quite a bit of grief trying to get a FreeBSD box to have
a graphic adapter _and_ have the console be the serial port rather than the
keyboard/mouse. What I'm trying to have is a remotely accessible display
screen that I can boot/reboot etc from a tip line. So if you do rewrite in
wscons please allow me to configure it so that it is configured but NOT the
console. Then I use it in my programs remotely.
