The keyboard and video questions are really quite separate, so I am answering them in two separate threads.
Anything using the oskit-mach "console" driver at all should be considered a temporary hack. For one thing, if you boot with the serial console then there isn't any device that gives you access to the PC keyboard. Moreover, the "direct_cons" driver is very simplistic, not all that efficient or robust or featureful (probably doesn't work with all the oddball hardware flavors a real driver would). That driver (and the serial driver used by the serial console) are really intended for bootstrapping and kernel debugging. (Also note that there is nothing at all in oskit-mach that will get you the ps2 mouse port.) The long-term solution is to cleanly incorporate some real keyboard/ps2 drivers into the oskit (encapsulate *BSD and/or Linux drivers), along with USB and whatever else. But that is some substantial work and not a task I would recommend for anyone who isn't intimately familiar with the oskit and its style of driver-stealing. All that said, yes I think turning on DC_RAW would make it more or less work. There is no interface for diddling the keyboard LEDs, which you would like to be able to do for real usability. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
