The version of SuperProbe shipped with the 1.5.1 install is broken,

WARNING - THIS SOFTWARE COULD HANG YOUR MACHINE.
READ THE SuperProbe.1 MANUAL PAGE BEFORE
RUNNING THIS PROGRAM.
INTERRUPT WITHIN FIVE SECONDS TO ABORT!
SuperProbe: CONSOLE_X_MODE_ON failed
SuperProbe: Cannot open video
>How-To-Repeat:
/usr/X11R6/bin/SuperProbe
>Fix:
At a guess the NetBSD X customisation was not correctly applied
when SuperProbe was compiled. The version of Superprobe in the
later snapshots works fine.

This was with the default GENERIC kernel and a clean install of all the
binary sets. The tail end of a ktrace of /usr/X11R6/bin/SuperProbe is
below:

245 SuperProbe GIO fd 2 wrote 30 bytes
"SuperProbe: Cannot open video
"
245 SuperProbe RET write 30/0x1e
245 SuperProbe CALL exit(0xffffffff)
The issue seems to be that the default wsconsole device does not
handle the IOCTL shown. This behavior is also experienced with
NetBSD 1.5.3_RC2 (using the xbinaries supplied with the 1.5.3_ALPHA)
release as the RC2 snapshot does not contain x)
The problem is not a big issue for me - however for the sake of
people trying NetBSD for the first time (maybe from linux :-)
it would be nice if SuperProbe DTRT with a brand new install. Maybe
a bit of tinkering would get it to work (and I have seen it work OK
with some versions of superprobe and so it may just be a superprobe
customisation issue)

State-Changed-From-To: feedback->analyzed
State-Changed-By: tron
State-Changed-When: Thu Dec 5 06:18:53 PST 2002
State-Changed-Why:
So the problem is caused by SuperProbe not interacting well with wscons(4).
Because NetBSD-i36 ships with XFree86 4.x it is not that important to
fix this bug.
