I can't say anything about Haswell support, but newcons works, sometimes :) Just not now. I've currently doing some redesign, so it is broken last week. Hope I will done something for wide testing in a week or so, but I'm afraid it will not be fully done to be shipped with 10.0. I will let you and others to know when something will happen :) Thanks! -- Aleksandr Rybalko <ray@freebsd.org>
