Hi all,
I recently upgraded from to NetBSD 4 BETA2 on my 12" iBook G4 and noticed
a few things have changed, most for the better. According to this
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-macppc/2006/11/08/0001.html
message from Michael Lorenz, the new console drivers should support
virtual consoles.
I've tried to add a few VTs, which works according to dmesg, but
I can't switch to them. Whenever I press Ctrl+Apple+F1..F4, the
machine simply resets itself. How does this work?
Also, the trackpad now interprets a tap on it as a mouseclick. I really
consider this a nuisance, as my hand occasionally touches the trackpad
accidentally, or when I try to make very small movements with the mouse,
it sees it as a click. I always switched this behaviour off in Mac OS
and in older NetBSD versions, this behaviour wasn't there. Is there a
way to turn it off, currently?
The new radeonfb is quite fast on the console, but somehow it appears
X is slower. When I try to play a game that uses SDL, it's a lot
slower with radeonfb than it was with a -current of a few months back,
from before radeonfb. Should I update my 4-BETA2 to -current?
Regards,
Peter
