Two quirks I immediately ran into when giving pcvt330 (never used pcvt
before) a try:

monk> startx


XFree86 Version 3.1.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6000)
Operating System: FreeBSD 2.0 
Configured drivers:
  S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 2)
      mmio_928, s3_generic

Fatal server error:
xf86OpenPcvt: VT_GETMODE failed
Found pcvt driver but X11 seems to be not supported.
Check your kernel's console driver configuration and /dev entries

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Excuse if this may be a FAQ.

Another gotcha:


The BACKSPACE key gives a 0x7f (DELETE) in vi; at least it would be nice
if the default behaviour was ^H when one is moving from syscons to pcvt.
