Hi,
I've run the X server on isgfb with the (appended) XF86Config, and
have some complaints:
C1. The X cursor is somewhat inside-out - I didn't yet count pixels,
but it looks as if the bytes of the bitmask are swapped. E.g., the
standard X cursor doesn't look like >< , but like <>.
Q1: (Some?) X servers allow to force a software rendered X cursor;
can I do this with the Shark XFree86, to check whether the problem
is in the hardware cursor code?
C2. Much worse: sometimes key release events get lost. It's mostly
harmless when text keys are affected, because pressing it again
will stop the auto-repeat, but I've had the caps lock or even some
sort of control or meta key event (couldn't find out) block in a
way that prevented me from using the keyboard at all in a controlled
way.
C3. I can't switch back to wscons at all, and when trying to force
16bpp mode, I've had the keyboard still drive the text console (and
scroll up the X part of the framebuffer).
The build machine was NetBSD/amd64-4.0_RC5, in case this matters, for
the kernel as well as the userland.
Regards,
-is
