o ATAPI/IDE tape drive support (BETA).
o Support for using VESA video modes. It is now possible to select and
use the modes provided by the BIOS on modern videocards. This enables
fx. 132x60 sized consoles and highres graphics in a generic manner on
hardware that supports it. There is also support for running the
console in rastermode, which allows XFree86 to run a simple 16color
server in 800x600 on othervise unsupported video hardware.
o Support for AdvanSys SCSI controllers (8 bit only for now)
o Support for the Compaq QLogic SCSI controller.
@ -161,14 +168,6 @@ o Responses to multicast ICMP ECHO REQUEST (``ping'') and ADDRESS MASK
REQUEST packets can now be disabled via sysctl. The netstat program
will print out statistics on how many times this happens.
o It is possible to compile in a font for syscons.
o The bootblocks can set VESA videomode 0x102 (800x600x16) before loading
the kernel, this allows XFree86 to work in this resolution on most
moderately recent graphics hardware, including many laptops.
A set of patches are making their way to -current that allows syscons
to operate in this mode too; contact phk@FreeBSD.org.
o A subtle and seldom bug in ffs has been fixed.
o The VFS name cache has been reworked to be more accountable and efficient.
