Okay, I've got the kernel sources installed, added a busmouse driver, built
the kernel, and installed XFree86. GENERICAH kernel config plus busmouse minus
math emulation and PCFS.
1) Pressing the Caps_Lock key at any time wedges the kbd driver.
The only way out seems to be with the big red switch. Have I done
something wrong, or is this just the way it is? I saw some code
in pccons.c (I think) that would automatically reset after a
two minutes elapsed. Did I not wait long enough?
2) Keyboard input in an xterm is buffered until I move the mouse.
At the risk of repeating myself, have I done something wrong,
or is this just the way it is?
3) Has anyone tried using -m486 in building the kernel?
4) Does PCFS grok HPFS? I presume that the initial configure was in
error in offering to make my OS/2 HPFS accessible from FreeBSD.
Thanks,
