Before building on the microSPARC you should install the patch for the console
driver supplied in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/sunLynx/patch.Console
.
(xc/programs/Xserver/hw/sunLynx/patch.Console-2.4.0
for LynxOS
revisions earlier than 2.5.0).
The patch fixes minor problems in the original LynxOS driver and adds
functionalities to detect the keyboard type and control the key click.
To create a backup of the original driver and install the patch issue
the commands
# cd /
# tar cf /sys/drivers/console.tar /sys/drivers/console
# patch -p -E < xc/programs/Xserver/hw/sunLynx/patch.Console
# cd /sys/drivers/console
# make install
# cd /sys/lynx.os
# make install
# reboot -a
If you opt not to install the patch you must edit xc/config/cf/lynx.cf
and change the definition of SparcConsoleDefines
from
#define SparcConsoleDefines -DPATCHED_CONSOLE
to
#define SparcConsoleDefines /* -DPATCHED_CONSOLE */
