[coLinux-users] console-nt

[Paolo M. <pao...@gm...>]

hi colinux developers and users.

I have two things to communicate (a post and a question)

1)
with the 0.7.1 if I use
stty rows n , where n>25 , Windows crash
This is not an important problem, but it is an error.
I tried to understand where is the problem (into the source) but I wan
unabile to do it. I'm sorry :=(

2)
I have tried to adjust the console-nt to have a larger console, for
example 80x40.
I have modified some lines in the code :

src/colinux/kernel/monitor.c:915:
    rc = co_console_create(80, 40 /* 25 */ , 0, &cmon->console);  // BY PAOLO

src/colinux/os/linux/kernel/module/.module.kernel_build/monitor.c:915:
    rc = co_console_create(80, 40 /* 25 */ , 0, &cmon->console);  // BY PAOLO

src/colinux/os/current/user/console-nt/widget.cpp:125
    r.bottom = fs.Y * 40; // 25; BY PAOLO

src/colinux/os/current/user/console-nt/widget.cpp:141
    size.Y = 40 ; // 25 ; PAOLO

~/build/linux-2.6.22-source/drivers/video/console:63
    c->vc_rows = 40; // 25; BY PAOLO

recompile all.
Colinux on Win32 starts ok, but afterm some messages the system crash
and my PC reboots.

I have searched something like "4000" (=80x25) or "8000" (=80*25*2,
for char and attribute) but nothing.

I know that it is possbile use putty, but the console sometimes is more useful.
If someone have ideas, please submit it.

Regards,
Paolo Minazzi

Hello Paolo,

think, you have forgotten two lines with 79 and 24, the "values-1".
Have changed console size to 40x120. Hope, it is not to big now. ;-)

Here is the complete patch for coLinux 0.8.0:
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/patches/devel/console-size-40x120.patch
Should also be usable for 0.7.2/0.7.3, but not tested.

and a ready to use build with it:
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/devel-0.8.0/20080310-con-40x120/

Hello,

is console size (NT and FLTK) an interesting option for coLinux?
Should we give it as runtime parameter? Instead the source code change
and recompiling.

I think that a #define with SIZE_X and SIZE_Y can be good.
Configuring the size at sartup can be good (an option vga=100x40, for
example) , but I think require some works .....
For advanced use there is putty.
Bye,
Paolo

Thanks. Live console resizing is not supported for colinux.

The console buffer is allocated on the windows side on starting coLinux
and can not change at live time. The patch will fix it.
