I was thinking mostly of 2.2.x with this change anyway. > I would rather that options SC_BAD_FLICKER was added to GENERIC, and > thats it, then we only need to find out why it doesn't work anymore... I don't like the idea of adding it to GENERIC since that just makes one more "mandatory option" for folks who have vga devices which do this. Again, I think the behavior of any part of the kernel should always be set to the most conservative values by default and then, if desired, provide knobs for being less conservative. It's also more in keeping with our existing option set to do this. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
