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.
	xenl: T, F.
	cbt: '\E[Z', -.
	flash: '\E[?5h$<200/>\E[?5l', -.
	ich1: '\E[@', -.
	kLFT: '\E[1;2D', -.
	kRIT: '\E[1;2C', -.
	kbs: '^?', '^H'.
	kcbt: '\E[Z', -.
	kf13: '\E[25~', -.
	kf14: '\E[26~', -.
	kf15: '\E[28~', -.
	kf16: '\E[29~', -.
	kf17: '\E[31~', -.
	kf18: '\E[32~', -.
	kf19: '\E[33~', -.
	kf20: '\E[34~', -.
	kf21: '\E[23;2~', -.
	kf22: '\E[24;2~', -.
	kmous: '\E[M', -.
	u6: '\E[%i%d;%dR', -.
	u7: '\E[6n', -.
	u8: '\E[?%[;0123456789]c', -.
	u9: '\E[c', -.
	RV: '\E[>c', -.
	ch1: -, '\E[@'.
	rv: '\E\\[>[0-9]+;[0-9]+;[0-9]+c', -.

However, in testing, the console froze more than once, necessitating a rebo=
ot.
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)
