KMSDRM on *BSD
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
KMSDRM is supported on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. DragonFlyBSD works but requires being a root user. NetBSD isn't supported yet because the application will crash when creating the KMSDRM screen.
|
|
|
|
WSCONS support has been brought back, but only as an input backend. It will not be brought back as a video backend to ease maintenance.
|
|
|
|
OpenBSD note: Note that the video backend assumes that the user has read/write permissions to the /dev/drm* devices.

SDL WSCONS input backend features
|
|
===================================================
|
|
1. It is keymap-aware; it will work properly with different keymaps.
|
|
2. It has mouse support.
|
|
3. Accent input is supported.
|
|
4. Compose keys are supported.
|
|
5. AltGr and Meta Shift keys work as intended.
|
|
|
|
Partially working or no input on OpenBSD/NetBSD.
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
The WSCONS input backend needs read/write access to the /dev/wskbd* devices, without which it will not work properly. /dev/wsmouse must also be read/write accessible, otherwise mouse input will not work.
|
|
|
|
Partially working or no input on FreeBSD.
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
The evdev devices are only accessible to the root user by default. Edit devfs rules to allow access to such devices. The /dev/kbd* devices are also only accessible to the root user by default. Edit devfs rules to allow access to such devices.
