Just for the record...
I track CURRENT (11) on my development box. I built my kernel
with sc(4) (SYSCONS)

# atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse
device		atkbdc			# AT keyboard controller
device		atkbd			# AT keyboard
device		psm			# PS/2 mouse

device		kbdmux			# keyboard multiplexer

# syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console
device		sc
options 	SC_PIXEL_MODE		# add support for the raster text mode

As well as vt ( VIRTUAL TERMINALS(4) )

# vt is the new video console driver
device		vt
device		vt_vga
device		vt_efifb

I have no trouble(s) running X on this box (I'm writing this from
within my web browser, on an X11 desktop)

The only provision I had to make, was in loader.conf(5) :

kern.vty=sc

and life is good! :)

In all fairness; I use a US keyboard, *but* using SYSCONS *doesn't*
prevent my being able to run X11. :)

Hope this helps!
