change typematic rate, or the X server (XFree86 or Accelerated X) starts up. So far, there have been two independent reports from Dell Latitude XPi notebook/laptop owners. The Latitude seems to be the only system which suffers from this problem. (I don't know the problem is with the entire Latitude line or with only some Latitude models) No problem report has been heard about other systems (I certainly cannot reproduce the problem in my -current and 2.2 systems). In 3.0-CURRENT, 2.2-RELEASE and 2.2-GAMMA-970310, when programming the keyboard LED/repeat-rate, `set_keyboard()' in `syscons' tells the keyboard controller not to generate keyboard interrupt (IRQ1) and then enable tty interrupts, expecting the keyboard interrupt doesn't occur. It appears that somehow Latitude's keyboard controller still generates the keyboard interrupt thereafter, and `set_keyboard()' doesn't see the return code from the keyboard because it is consumed by the keyboard interrupt handler. The patch entirely disables tty interrupts while setting LED and typematic rate in `set_keyboard()', making the routine behave more like the previous versions of `syscons' (versions in 2.1.X and 2.2-ALPHA, -BETA, and some -GAMMAs). The reporter said this patch eliminated the problem. (I also found another typo/bug, but the reporter and I found that it wasn't the cause of the problem...) This should go into RELENG_2_2. |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $Id$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel. Please see the top of the Makefile for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it wouldn't even run).
