The good news is that wscons does not appear to have a problem
with the
CG6.
So this means the issue is in code which has gone away in current?
So
while its annoying it will not be in netbsd-6 (as & when that comes
out). I assume the wscons changes are too big to pullup to
netbsd-5 ?
:)
The wscons changes are mostly other drivers growing wsdisplay
support - -
cgsix(4) had it since NetBSD 3.0 or earlier ( when sparc64 switched
to
wscons ), you can just build a wscons kernel which will support
your CG6
with the netbsd-5 sources. At least as long as the CG6 is an SBus
device -
I'm not sure when the cgsix at obio code was fixed.
The question then applies to how much effort would the wscons driver
changes be to pullup to netbsd-5? :)
