If you patch >/sys/compile/GENERICISA/pccons.c, then make sure that your Makefile >refers to it and not /sys/i386/isa/pccons.c. Rich I had a simular problem and all I did was run 'make clean' in the /sys/compile/GENERICISA directory. Then re-build your config, make depend, and make this should work. Also if your running zsh you can 'grep -s pc_xmode /386bsd ; echo $?' and if you get a 0 then your kernel s/b okay. This will keep you from getting eye strain trying watch the mass of data scrolling across your scrren. Kevin
