I know well that currently console emulation on freebsd/sparc64 more or less doesn't exist, which I'm pretty much OK with. Installing a headless system is something I have to deal with pretty much on a daily basis at work, and once you get SSH up and running it matters even less. However, since my freebsd/sparc64 machine is just a home test/dev machine I have to admit that it'd be nice occasionally to sit at the console and run X or even just be able to run vi if something goes wrong and I don't have my laptop at home to be able to serial into it. Anyway.. these are all old points, I'm sure, to this group so I won't spend any more time with it. My question really just boils down to this: Does anyone know if there are any plans to make console terminal emmulation work properly under freebsd/sparc64? I am not a developer, but I can't imagine it would be that difficult to borrow some code from the other BSD's (opena and net) which both are capable of running X locally and have full support for the sun terminal type. No worries if not, I'm just curious. I'll just stop plugging in the head each time a release comes out if someone in the dev team says, "don't look for it before 6-release" or something similar. Thanks in advance for any info. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Search - Find what you’re looking for faster http://search.yahoo.com
