I'm running with some changes to wscons to support my 122-key mainframe style keyboard in a useful way. That is to say supporting VT switching and other 'commands' on dedicated keys. Also, my repeat key patch from last year never made it in to mainline to I've got that here as well. Around November last year, the framebuffer code was changed which made the console impossibly slow for me on three boxes, so I've made some local changes to repair that regression. Also, regarding wifi, I am experimenting with three wifi cards, one of which gained support in mainline between 5.4-release and 5.5-release, onr of the others is long supported, the other not supported or working very well at all at the moment, despite being almost identical to another that I have. When using OpenBSD with a wifi card in host AP mode, it's obvious that something is wrong with the rate control code, because it never seems to go about 2 mbit. So, I've got some changes to the rate control code and one device driver in at the same time. With all this going on, it's not trivial to follow -current on these boxes at the moment. But I will see what I can do and maybe port some of my bits forward. It's really a shame that the repeat key and other wscons changes are not of interest, because I'm sure there are other people that could use them. Unfortunately after my modified repeat key patch was rejected, (silently), I reverted to a simpler version that breaks other stuff, because it suited me better for my own boxes and was easier to port forward every six months. Oh, and I fixed a couple of time related bugs in my tree as well. > anyway for getting support inside OpenBSD for that hardware patch will need > to be done against -current. Not much point if nodbody's interested in it apart from me:-). Look back in the archives... This was posted around the 5.0 era: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-bugs&m=132851264207109&w=2 -- Creamy! <3
