I've also seen the dimness you mentioned -- seems to be a reinitialization issue. I've got a combined patch (your changes plus the mods already in the port) but I'm trying to get some more ifdef's into place so that only ppc gets the parts that aren't currently ifdef'ed. Some things I've noticed -- I had to comment out the ttya and ttyb entries in /etc/ttys because getty was going nuts trying to initialize them. It kept complaining they don't exist in /dev (even though they do). Even so, I get a string of: ofwfb_ioctl: unimplemented at boot. In addition, though /boot/kernel/sound.ko exists, kldload sound gives the following: kldload: can't load sound: No such file or directory while the console shows: link_elf: symbol isa_dmastart undefined I didn't really expect it to work but I did think it would load -- did you know about the missing symbol already? I tried dpms and it does work under X just fine. I seem able to freeze the system fairly regularly -- it may just be starting and restarting X but I've not yet been able to isolate the cause. (X won't start every time -- it doesn't always figure out that some modes can run even though I've hardcoded some into the xorg.conf) Seems to drop to the debugger about once every 4 times or so. I'm delighted with the progress of the ppc port -- let me know if there is anything else I can test specifically. Sean
