[coLinux-users] console-nt size

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

Hi Henry,
I have compiled the 0.7.3 RC4.
I thought that this version included two single #define of SIZE_X and SIZE_Y.
If I don't remember badly, you have written some time ago (when you
are studying the endless page fault problem) a version with a #define
in the console daemon.
The kernel make a call to the daemon to retrieve the SIZE_X and SIZE_Y.
I think it was a good solution.
Have you decided to don't include this feature ?
Bye,
Paolo

At the time we are in release candidate not new features I put in. Only
bugfixies. But, thanks for remembering.

The kernel call and the define will find first in the branch devel, than
goes to the stable tree. It's because the API will change for that.

The patch is currently waiting here:
