Indeed, the modes 10, 11, 12, 13, 16 are higher than the standard
CV64/4 modi, but they work fine on my system. Matthias SCheler told be
2 years ago:

You have to compile a kernel with "options CV_AGGRESSIVE_TIMING".

This was for an older kernel (1.2.x I believe). Is there no other
method to enable these modi than building a new kernel with
"CV_AGGRESSIVE_TIMING"?

BTW, it's a long time I haven't heard of Matthias.
Did he leave NetBSD?

TIA
