D'oh!  Stupid typo.  I recently upgraded to 9.3-STABLE and rebuilt
all my ports from source.

And, yes, I had WITH_NEW_XORG=true in my /etc/make.conf file before
starting the rebuild of all my ports.

Are you saying that (given all the above that I have done), this new
problem that I have encountered can be eliminated by putting vt(4) in
my kernel config file, rebuilding my kernel and then rebooting?
