I've been considering this, but I have a few more questions, if I may:

- There was a time when the new Xorg stuff did not play well with VTYs.
   Is this still the case or has it been resolved?

- If I were to set this option in make.conf, is it sufficient to simply
   force a recompilation of every port on the machine via portupgrade,
   or is there a better way?

TIA,
