It has something to do with this whole Yarrow thing. I suppose Yarrow (and dev/urandom) are eating up tty interrupts that otherwise would have gone to moused and syscons. Someone on this list suggested implementing some sort of kernel threads, with Yarrow and syscons split up on different kernel threads. AFAIK, this hasn't been implemented yet. So, do we have some sort of kernel threads we could use for this? Or, do we have to compile in Linuxthreads, or something? - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
