It's not much of a program -- it basically opens a VTY and calls a
VESA ioctl (which requires the kludgy kernel patch). You can find a
pointer to it via either of these URLs:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=234054+237210+/usr/local/www/db/text/1999/freebsd-mobile/19991226.freebsd-mobile
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=564252665
You'll have to download the 850K tarball to get the xvtykludge program
source.
