HEADS UP: We now load ehci.ko by default

2010-07-04 Thread Sascha Wildner 

Hi,

I've changed the loader behavior to automatically load ehci.ko if not 
instructed otherwise.


So if EHCI doesn't work properly on your box (it doesn't on one of 
mine), you will have to disable it by putting into /boot/loader.conf:


hint.ehci.0.disabled=1

The commit is here:

Regards,

About ctrl-alt-bckspace you need to run the Xorg with -retro to enabled it.
Probably someone already told that in the irc.
No idea about numbers and letters.

 the
  keyboard has the same problem. Any ideas? Should I try installing kernel

 After some discussion on IRC, this turns out to be bug 1519:
 http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issue1519 . There's no mention of tty in
 xorg.conf or kdmrc. Any idea how to fix this?

I suspect a change in the boot order. The bug depends on whether a terminal 
device is or is not in use when X starts. The kdm startup script has not 
changed, except the manual edit I made to change wscons to syscons, but 
perhaps syscons or something providing LOGIN has changed.
