After the recent x86emu/vesa/dpms commits, I'm now able to use some more graphics modes with syscons on amd64. That's good. Not so good is the fact that my HP Pavilion desktop running 9-CURRENT i386 r197085 with devic sc options SC_PIXEL_MODE device vga options VGA_WIDTH90 in the kernel and agp, dpms, x86emu, and vesa loaded as kernel modules can no longer use the 132x60 mode that had been my default syscons mode, and now yields a blank screen. Even worse is the fact that my Toshiba laptop, with nearly the same configuration, locks up with a screen full of zeroes every time I load the new vesa kernel module, when formerly it had no such problem. Other than simplifying the organization of the code, is there any advantage to be gained from forcing those platforms that are capable of native vesa to use x86emu? Because up to this point there are serious disadvantages to doing so. Regards, b.Received on Fri Sep 11 2009 - 18:03:28 UTC
