Hi Stephan,

Small update - I tried 2 things yesterday on 2 systems I had at hand:

-I tested on a NetBSD 6.0 amd64 box with a local X server and SDL
backend - that showed the very same symptoms as I saw before.

-And on a Raspberry Pi with NetBSD 7.99 (current) arm - also with the
same issues. I tried both SDL rendering on X as well as on the console
(wscons). Good news there is that gdb is working as expected, so I
will be able to debug this further.

(please mention, if your native language is German)

This is a very interesting project. Contrary to what others suggested, I would not try to update the code first, but instead I would try to get it working as it is. That should let you concentrate on one problem and not make you wonder whether you introduced new bugs by updating. And it will also make you more familiar with the code. That will be very helpful when you do update once you have it running.

I am familiar with relevant portions of the Haiku code, how app_server and registrar and input_server depend on each other, even though it's been a while. I've been working mostly on app_server. I think having the Haiku user land run on another kernel is a very interesting project. Please keep us posted!

Best regards,
-Stephan
