X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 04 Feb 2007 17:30:30 -0000 Hello! I find DRM's unconditional console messages: info: [drm] Loading R300 Microcode quite annoying. They apper every time I switch from text console to Xorg, and I see no rationale behind them. I'm aware of kern.consmute, but I really want to see console messages about hardware errors. Are DRM ucode loadings so significant that we really want to see them on console? Can't we hide the DRM_INFO() output under bootverbose or (even better) under drm-specific sysctl?
