-<!--
-
- The "Supported Devices" section of the release notes.
- Generally processor-independent, with conditional text
- inclusion handling any architecture-dependent text.
-
- Within each subsection describing a class of hardware
- (i.e. Ethernet interfaces), list broad groups of devices
- alphabetically as paragraphs sorted alphabetically (frequently
- these groups will be arranged by manufacturer, i.e. 3Com
- Ethernet interfaces).
-
- Where applicable, a "Miscellaneous" section may follow all
- other named sections.
-
- These guidelines are not hard-and-fast rules, and exceptions
- will occur. Following these guidelines (vague as they may be)
- is highly recommended to try to keep the formatting of
- this section consistent.
-
- We give manpage references using the &man entities where
- possible. If a driver has no manpage (and consequently no
- &man entity, we simply give the name of the driver).
- Please avoid doing &man entity conversions unless you
- know for sure that an entity and manpage exist; sweeps through
- this file to fix "missed" conversions are likely to break the
- build.

- <title>Supported Devices</title>
-
- <para>This section describes the devices currently known to be
- supported by with &os; on the &arch.print; platform. Other configurations
- may also work, but simply have not been tested yet. Feedback,
- updates, and corrections to this list are encouraged.</para>
-
- <para>Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or class
- of devices is listed. If the driver in question has a manual page
- in the &os; base distribution (most should), it is referenced here.
- Information on specific models of supported devices, controllers,
- etc. can be found in the manual pages.</para>
-
- <note>
- <para>Lists of specific, supported devices are gradually being
- removed from this document in order to reduce the amount of
- duplicated (and potentially out-of-date) information contained
- within. When this process is complete, the manual page for each
- driver should be consulted for the authoritative list of devices
- supported that particular driver.</para>

- <title>Kernel Changes</title>
-
- <para arch="i386,ia64,amd64">The &man.acpi.4; driver's CPU
- component now supports idle states C1-C3 for both single and SMP
- systems, providing power/heat savings when the processor is
- idle, according to ACPI 2.0. Additionally, the throttling
- support has been updated to ACPI 2.0.</para>
-
- <para arch="i386">A bug that caused
- &man.atkbd.4; to register an AT keyboard during console initialization,
- even when no AT keyboard was connected,
- has been fixed. <command>kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1</command>
- is no longer needed when only a USB keyboard is connected.
- &merged;</para>
-
- <para arch="i386">The &man.cx.4; driver for Cronyx-Sigma
- serial interfaces has been overhauled. As a part of this
- update, the cxconfig userland configuration utility has been
- replaced by a newer &man.sconfig.8; utility.</para>
-
- <para arch="i386,pc98">The DRM kernel modules have been updated from
- DRI CVS as of 12 November 2003. Among other changes, this
- change includes a newly-ported SiS 300/305/540/630/730
- driver and mostly-complete SMPng locking.</para>
-
- <para>The &man.dcons.4; <quote>dumb console</quote> driver has
- been added to provide a local and remote console. It can be
- accessed over FireWire using the &man.dcons.crom.4; driver. A
- &man.dconschat.8; utility provides user access to &man.dcons.4;
- devices.</para>
-
- <para>A multi-byte character set conversion method is now supported
- by the <literal>LIBICONV</literal> kernel option.</para>
-
- <para arch="sparc64">A new OFW PCI framework, conditional on the
- <literal>OFW_NEWPCI</literal> kernel configuration option, has
- been added. This addition improves the handling of PCI busses.
- One user-visible change is that the enumeration of devices is
- closer to &solaris; (as a result of this change, the numbering
- of devices may change if more than one unit of a device type is
- present). The <literal>OFW_NEWPCI</literal> kernel
- configuration is enabled by default in the
- <filename>GENERIC</filename> kernel.</para>
-

- be supported, and systems with Creator3D graphics cards
- (e.g. Ultra 30) can now run
- <application>XFree86</application>.</para>
-
- <para>The &man.uart.4; driver has been added to support various
- classes of UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter)
- devices. It is an analog of the &man.sio.4; driver but
- supports a wider range of devices. This driver is necessary
- to support serial ports on certain architectures, such as
- ia64 and sparc64.</para>
-
- <para>A kernel software watchdog facility has been implemented.
- For more information, see &man.watchdog.4; and
- &man.watchdogd.8;.</para>
-
- <!-- Above this line, sort kernel changes by manpage/keyword-->
-
- <para>The swap pager has been revamped. Among user-visible
- changes are a change in the layout policy (from fixed-width
- striping to a round-robin across devices) for better I/O
- throughput, the elimination of compile-time limits on the number
- of swap devices, and a reduction in memory overheads.</para>
