I'm mostly working with the assumption that it will not be used in the end and I'm allowing myself to take all sorts of shortcuts. If we do want to proceed in this direction, then it's probably a good idea to get more people involved. I'm in no way a vga(4), fb(4) or syscons(4) wizard and I don't intend to take this on by myself: it's just too hairy... As a start: I think we should minimize conditional compilation based on architecture. I'd rather we introduce FB_NEWBUS as an option and use that. Thoughts? Secondly: In vga_vid_config we need to actually probe for a VGA device. Can I assume that for sparc64 the legacy memory and I/O exists as well? -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe p4-projects" in the body of the message
