Hello,

Committed, should work without a hitch. There's only one missing bit -
if you want wsmouse support you need to attach it sparc64-style ( zstty
at zs, ms at zstty, wsmouse at ms ) which requires a few changes in
files.sparc and majors.sparc which aren't committed yet - otherwisely
the sparc64 code works fine on sun4m boxes and /should/ work at least on
sun4c too.

For console only just add:
wsdisplay* at cgsix?
wskbd* at kbd?

pseudo-device	wsmux			# mouse and keyboard multiplexor
pseudo-device	wsfont

... and something like this:

#options 	WSEMUL_SUN
options 	WSEMUL_VT100
options 	WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD		# can get raw scancodes
options 	WSDISPLAY_CUSTOM_OUTPUT		# color customization from wsconsctl(8)
options 	WS_DEFAULT_FG=3DWSCOL_BLACK
options 	WS_DEFAULT_BG=3D0x0f
options 	WS_KERNEL_FG=3DWSCOL_GREEN
options 	WS_KERNEL_BG=3D0x0f
options 	WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_USL		# VT handling
options 	WSDISPLAY_DEFAULTSCREENS=3D1

#options 	FONT_GALLANT12x22	# the console font
options 	FONT_BOLD8x16		# a somewhat smaller font

... to your kernel config, pick whatever font you like but only one for
now. A list is in src/sys/dev/wsfont/files.wsfont. Then remove or
comment out stuff like this:

options RASTERCONSOLE
options 	RASTERCONSOLE_FGCOL=3DWSCOL_BLACK
options 	RASTERCONSOLE_BGCOL=3DWSCOL_WHITE

... and do the usual config / make depend / make ritual.

before rebooting make sure you can login via network in case something
goes wrong. You need to change /etc/ttys for the wscons stuff, like
this:
console        "/usr/libexec/getty suncons"    sun-ss5 off secure
ttyE0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   xterm-color     on  secure
ttyE1   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   xterm-color     on  secure
ttyE2   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   xterm-color     on  secure
ttyE3   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   xterm-color     on  secure

a getty on /dev/console does funny things when there's also one on
/dev/ttyE*, the terminal emulation should of course match whatever you
compiled into your kernel, like 'sun' if you use WSEMUL_SUN

The you might want to add
wscons=3Dyes
to your /etc/rc.conf and probably hack /etc/wscons.conf - by default it
requests vt100 screens as additional consoles. With vt100 emulation I'd
recommend xterm-color since it copes better with seemingly odd display
sizes that don't match any real terminal.

have fun
Michael
