[OpenIndiana-discuss] Selecting video mode for text mode in OI

2013-11-15 Thread Jim Klimov
Hello all, Has anybody bothered trying larger resolutions (80x50 or so) in text-mode OI/illumos/Solaris-x86 outputs? This would help in systems debugging a lot :) I guess something of the kind could be inherited from GRUB, but my first tests did not get it to do the job either :\ //Jim __

[OpenIndiana-discuss] usb ups on openindiana

2013-11-09 Thread Jim Klimov
ough :) And ideas about the volatility of device node setup (disappearance of symlinks and changes of ownership with blazer_usb - but not with the usbhid-ups driver) are also welcome. Also, for the record, it is very inconvenient that starting an UPS driver requires an entry in the ups.conf nowadays - basically, to find a matching driver I'd have to make dozens of such entries and see if any of them works... I'm lucky I got a possible hit on my second attempt.
