This should also fix a problem I noticed with an intel device but didn't report yet: an intelfb0 is attached to i915drmkms0@pci, but a vga@isa is also attached, ending up with 2 wsdisplays. The console keyboard is then attached to wsdisplay1, leaving the console (wsdisplay0) without keyboard ... Sorry, I missed the discussion on this. Will LEGACY be built by default? What's the set of computers that one has to use LEGACY on? Is it just systems that are so old that vga is not via PCI? Are there thought to be any that have a 486 and could have worked? pgp1UG8z4tTD0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I have a working one of those, EISA, 486DX, basically sun-lamp lookalike (if you remember that). I plan to add it to my regular test schedule, maybe once a month. Martin

I plan to add it to my regular test schedule, maybe once a month. I see - that is pretty ancient, and the number of people wanting to run NetBSD (or anything) on those is probably tiny. So this all seems fine to me - I just couldn't tell right away and had wondered for a second if it was going to affect all machines that didn't have the spiffy drm2-capacble hw. pgpWRiUnVNExo.pgp Description: PGP signature
