You may have a try by changing the mouse protocol from "wsmouse" to "auto", for PS/2 mouses this might work. Anyway I don't guarantee this would work. It seems this is a bug in the nv driver. While shifting between virtual ttys, the display driver should store/restore everything, including the mouse cursor. If that doesn't work. You may disable hardware cursor and XAA acceleration.

What did the scan results indicate? I have an ancient box, which is an AMD K6 266MHz with 64M RAM, running OBSD 4.2 + pf + squid. I use it as a home router + firewall + WWW cache.

OpenBSD 4.8's bsd.mp doesn't detect 4GB Memory
Hi guys. Recently I installed OpenBSD 4.8 and found out that it can't detect 4GB memory on my amd64 box. From the output of dmesg I can see it detects all the memory hardware (4x1G memory bars). Yet it can only use about 3.5G of them, like an i386 kernel does. I've googled the issue and some say one has to 'config' the default kernel (i.e., bsd.mp). But I am not very sure that I know how to do that... My question is: Is there anything I can do to make bsd.mp detect all the 4G memory on my amd64? There must be some way... I think. Many Thanks! -- When you are right be logical, when you are wrong be-fuddle.

But the point is that I haven't yet built a custom kernel ever I only build custom kernels on FreeBSD... it seems custom kernels are not popular in OpenBSD world...
