Yes.  ray@ is currently being funded by the FreeBSD Foundation to =
improve Newcons compatibility with KMS.  The Newcons framework is =
designed to improve layering in the console.  The machine-dependent part =
simply provides a framebuffer interface, the machine-independent part =
provides the terminal emulator (this also means things like unicode in =
the console will work, as will higher-resolution consoles).  It's =
currently used on a few non-x86 platforms, but it wasn't a priority for =
x86 because the PC BIOS text console mostly works and people who want a =
better terminal can just run X.  It's now become a priority because of =
the KMS integration with X.org.  Once this work is completed, we will =
switch to a new X.org by default and will use the KMS interface within =
the kernel for selecting the video mode. =20
