I did that, but still had to enable the service.
That let me test it, and complete the terminal description.
I made these changes (mine on the left):
comparing kmscon to kmscon.

However, in testing, the console froze more than once, necessitating a reboot.
I noted one of the freezes for vttest; the other was in rendering Unicode
around U+8000.
(also, I saw flash working -- once -- and not later: a bug)
