| 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. | |
| SDL2 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. |
