It seems xterm emulator can't co-exist with screen maps, namely
vidcontrol -l koi8-r2cp866
I got Russian letters everywhere instead of vt100 pseudographics due to 
missing (i.e. default) ac= termcap capability (f.e. in tzsetup etc.)
There are 2 ways to fix it.
1) Make separate xterm-r with corrected ac= (that way is ugly).
2) Don't seek for vt100 pseudographics in loaded font at all, just use 
internal kernel font.
Please decide how to fix this better. For now only fallback to '-T cons25' 
is solution for Russian users.
