In the next few hours I will commit a bunch of changes to syscons console driver. This is the second phase of syscons reorganization. Here are some warnings :) 1) Because a few new files will be added to the source tree, you will need to run config(8) on your kernel configuration file before compiling a new kernel. Most of you don't need to update the kernel configuration file itself. However, some of you may have to add the following options. options SC_PIXEL_MODE Syscons has supported the raster console mode (VESA 800x600) by default. This is now an optional feature, and must be explicitly enabled by SC_PIXEL_MODE. If you have been using this mode, add the above option. options SC_DFLT_FONT makeoptions "SC_DFLT_FONT=_font_name_" This new option replaces the existing STD8X16FONT option which loads the specified 16-line font. The new option will load not only 16-line font, but also 14- and 8- line font. 2) Recompile all screen savers and splash screen modules, because some header files will be changed. 3) Optionally update kbdcontrol and vidcontrol. If you regularly do "make world", you will be Ok. This is not mandatory because old binaries will still work with the new kernel. That's all. If you find any difficulties or problems, please report in the -current mailing list.
