Hey,
Thanks for porting svgalib to FreeBSD :)
One minor problem, though...the VT_SETMODE ioctl doesn't work. I had a
similar problem when I was porting vlock (which is as yet uncommitted
:P) to FreeBSD - the vt_mode structure must have a valid frsig member
(even though the kernel sources indicate it is unused). The ioctl will
fail without a valid frsig.
Patch (after existing patches):
