Also, since the atkbd and psm device interrupt handlers can only be called from the atkbdc driver, they don't register interrupts and thus don't have/need masks. > device sc0 at isa? tty flags zzz What's this? Don't you mean: pseudo-device syscons 1 (or whatever incantation you want to use to get it included)? > NOTE: pcvt driver will still work after this change.

You might want to talk to him about having him focus on the vtxxx emulation features, and perhaps on the personality interface so that we end up with a quality vtxxx emulation as an option? (hm@freebsd.org) In general, excellent! It's great to see this happening at last. 8) Thanks for taking it on! -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
