NetBSD and USB connected display

Hello, Since less motherboards come now with com serial external ports to allow serial console, I wonder if NetBSD supports a display connected via USB (to allow connecting a display and a keyboard via USB to a headless node to monitor a booting problem)? TIA -- Thierry Laronde tlaronde

Thank you to both of you. Things are clearer. And since it's a spare disk and I want to test for example between eSata and USB connections, I will test various things. And if I find something of value (would it be only the differences of throughput between USB and eSata or the differences of the

Hello, I'm on NetBSD 8.0 amd64, and using pkgsrc-2019Q4. wine doesn't compile for amd64 so I'm trying wine-devel. But it chokes about courier.ttf, because of a bug in freetype2 introduced after 2.8. The offending bit is explained here: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43716 Modifying
