Hello,

> So there are two test kernels ( see http://macallan.homeunix.org:6704/stuff/BSD/sparc/ )::
I made a new kernel to play with. Same location - SPARCbook3GX_03_09.bz2
Changes:
- vt100 terminal emulation instead of sun
- all graphics operations are now done by the blitter - no direct framebuffer access anymore
- removed the p9100_sync()s after issuing blitter commands, syncing before is enough - we only need to wait for the blitter if we want to start another operation.
- the reverse attribute works now...
- colour works too. Just make sure you use a terminal type that uses it, like xterm-color
- dbri0 attaches, doesn't do much besides powering up the device though.

have fun
Michael
