The attached patch adds an rc.conf option, allscreenskbd_flags, which
does the same thing as allscreens_flags except it runs kbdcontrol
instead of vidcontrol. I'm not really sure why these programs were
separated, but that's another story. This patch allows one to stick
'allscreenskbd_flags="-h 200"' in rc.conf and automatically have the
scrollback buffer size set to 200 lines for all the virtual terminals.
Comments?
Thanks,
Dima Dorfman
