Gang, Yesterday I fixed the support for the Z8530 in uart(4), which was the main blocker for not switching over to uart(4). With that fixed, I enabled puc(4) and uart(4) and also disabled ofw_console(4), sab(4) and zs(4) in GENERIC in 6-CURRENT. I updated /etc/ttys accordingly. With uart(4) the default console handler for serial consoles, we are also a small step away from having keyboard and mouse support enabled by default. It's known to work on some models (like the U5/U10), but it needs tweaking and testing on the U2 (and I think U1E). I'll be doing that in the coming days/weeks. The intend is to merge it all back to 5-STABLE for inclusion in the upcoming 5.4 release. I'll be doing that in a couple of weeks. So, if you can, play with it and report any problems. Thanks to Daniel Seuffert for his contribution, without which there wouldn't be any progress. FYI, -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
