I have a couple of IBM Thinkcentre compact desktop machines (S51) which run NetBSD/i386. Both boot -current (netboot/NFS root) and run native Xorg just fine.
Only one has a local disk and ran NetBSD-7 with no problem. When I updated it to netbsd-8 (first 8.0_RC2 and now a recent 8.0_STABLE), during Xorg startup (via xdm), the keyboard lights blink very quickly a few times, the X server and xdm take a long time to start, and the keyboard and mouse become completely unresponsive. The machine is using a genuine IBM model M keyboard and a fairly recent PS/2 mouse (by m$, OEMed for DELL). I could still log in via SSH and when shutting down saw the following on the console (later extracted from 'dmesg' output): pckbport: command timeout pms_enable: command error 35 pckbport: command timeout pckbport: command timeout pms_disable: command error pckbport: command timeout pms_enable: command error 35 pckbport: command timeout pms_disable: command error pckbport: command timeout pms_enable: command error 35 Again, this only occurs on this machine under netbsd-8. Other i386 boxen run netbsd-8 with native Xorg and PS/2 keyboards/mice just fine. Other machines use the same PS/2 keyboard/mouse as this machine without problems. This same machine runs -current w/native Xorg just fine. Full netbsd-8 dmesg available when I get it set up again (workspace occupied by another task at the moment...). -- |/"\ John D.
