Indeed, the modification to /etc/wscons.conf removes the need for my Xorg patch. I now have: screen 0 - vt100 screen 1 - vt100 screen 2 - vt100 screen 3 - vt100 screen 4 - vt100 screen 5 - vt100 encoding fr I wonder if the Xorg patch could still be of some interest for the unwary admin that missed this step. That did not help with the "pckbport: command timeout" messages and the freezes that come with it. "userconf disable pckbc0" works it around. > please provide full details on this part. mine shows eg: # grep pckb /var/run/dmesg.boot pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60-0x64 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0 mux 1 pms0 at pckbc0 (aux slot) pckbc0: using irq 12 for aux slot With is of course without userconf disable pckbc0. As noted earlier, no keyboard is connected to the system. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus m...@netbsd.org
