I run syscons with X on a number of systems...

I MUST run vt on certain systems with Intel grahics, with drm2, to be
able to swich from X to console and back (and is the current FreeBSD
standard for X ports). kbdmux is mandatory in this case because X must
put the keyboard in raw mode, which cannot be done with vt only (and a
reason of the presence of kbdmux in GENERIC)..

And I always use a non US keyboard - which IS the context of the
ORIGINAL post !
