The only drivers I can take a look at, are: - syscons - sio and uart - pty - u(pl)com I do have a Sun U10 laying around, but the on-board video chip broke down some time ago, so I can't take a look at the ofw_console driver anymore. :-( So basically I'll need help with the console drivers on the more exotic architectures. By the time the basic features of the new TTY layer work like they should, I could also use some help reviving the disciplines, like SLIPDISC, PPPDISC, etc. --=20 Ed Schouten <ed@fxq.nl> WWW: http://g-rave.nl/ --B9BE8dkJ1pIKavwa Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkezOu8ACgkQ52SDGA2eCwVGNwCffL01itHGVfmfjSrV/WZ2i7Lt JaoAn3J7ET5zjb/NXW9tYAjUITuIplaD =Bzn/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --B9BE8dkJ1pIKavwa--
