It has been a while since I've run NetBSD (my recent undertakings have
required a micro$oft OS). I have noticed (since I installed NetBSD 1.4 on
an i386 2 days ago) that pcvt/pccons console drivers were both "replaced"
by wscons. Question 1: does wscons have some sort of screen-blanking
mechanism to use [ie. scon for pcvt]. I know it sounds silly, but I'm a
relatively anal person. I tried scon, but continuing getting an ioctl
error, so I'm assuming scon it just incompatible with wscons. Two: for how
long will pccons/pcvt console drivers continue to be supported or
"packaged" with NetBSD?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
