>Description:

As I see in the sources, vidcontrol does only printf() for -T, so this is
kernel-related bug in the xterm emulator.

-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.

>How-To-Repeat:

xterm# vidcontrol -T cons25 80x30
check what really happens.
