Hi. Yes, there is pps.ko in that directory, but (I think) not linked/compiled/loaded. The only mode of kldstat that comes back with anything sensible, is:- # /boot/kernel >kldstat -q Id Refs Address Size Name 1 4 0xc0400000 1205064 kernel 2 1 0xc3998000 2000 blank_saver.ko # /boot/kernel > And yes, the console screensaver (blank) is enabled. I then looked up kldload as suggested, and did this.... # /boot/kernel >kldload -v ./pps.ko Loaded ./pps.ko, id=3 # /boot/kernel >kldstat -q Id Refs Address Size Name 1 7 0xc0400000 1205064 kernel 2 1 0xc3998000 2000 blank_saver.ko 3 1 0xc533a000 3000 pps.ko # /boot/kernel > So, that's an easier way to enable PPS support then, than recompiling the kernel. Yes? If so, I'll go and read up about doing that at boot time via rc.conf or loader.conf. Would that be correct? If so, which method is preferable? Best Regards.
