It seems xterm emulator can't co-exist with screen maps, namely
vidcontrol -l koi8-r2cp866
I got Russian letters everywhere instead of vt100 pseudographics due to
missing (i.e. default) ac= termcap capability (f.e. in tzsetup etc.)
There are 2 ways to fix it.
1) Make separate xterm-r with corrected ac= (that way is ugly).
2) Don't seek for vt100 pseudographics in loaded font at all, just use
internal kernel font.
Please decide how to fix this better. For now only fallback to '-T cons25'
is solution for Russian users.

Another bug found.
-T cons25 can't coexist with 'mode' argument, i.e.
xterm# vidcontrol -T cons25 80x30
really makes xterm 80x30, not cons25 80x30.
xterm# vidcontrol -T cons25
alone works, but there is only single 'allscreens_flags' variable in the
/etc/rc.conf, so I can't switch to 80x30 at once.

The strange thing is that
cons25# vidcontrol -T xterm 80x30
works as supposed.

Please fix.

Hi

Any chance to get it fixed somehow ?

midnight commander does not work correctly even with no screen-maps,
vidcontrol -T xterm, env TERM=xterm LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8

also, console does not handle correctly multi-byte utf-8 characters
(it should already or not ?)
