This is a problem which will be fixed soon.

The original version of codrv-0.1.2 (and already 0.1.1) shipped with a notice
that codrv uses an entry 'pc3n' (or 'pc3nc' for the Russian map) for termcap.
But it should work with the standard 'pc3' as well.
It has already been reported in other postings that the patchkit messed around
a lot with the pc3 entry; the main problem was a difference between the version
installed from the bindist and the one from the etcdist.
The following is the set of termcap entries I use, despite of what is in the
termcap file after pk-0.2.4. This may or may not be something that works
with syscons. Besides that: the emulation part of the attributes mainly follows
pccons here; if there are special effects in syscons for monochrome, modify
the codrv part for attributes (vga_setattributes()), and submit this as a change
to me; they are then (if useful) integrated in the next version for the
benefit of everybody. I have no time to scan all existing systems or drivers
for features that are useful; I have to rely on user input here (This holds
for any improvement like new modules, for instance; codrv was intended as
a flexible play ground).
