Actually, I think I found what's going on here. Double-check this, please?
1) I've installed the new Xorg.
2) New Xorg requires KMS.
3) KMS requires newcons.
4) Current kernel uses syscons.
I will test this theory as soon as I can get buildworld (and then
buildkernel) to work.
Please stand by for further developments.
