[coLinux-users] graphical console for colinux

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

Hi colinux users,
I have published a first version of my colinux console on

http://xoomer.alice.it/paolo.minazzi/colinux-console-nt.exe

Use it quietly, I have compiled it with mingw under vmware. It cannot
have viruses.

I can easily add other font. This one is the version with 8x14 pixel
for each char.
The console size if 80x25 chars.

I have tried it enough and it is possible use it without problems.
I have used it at work ( I develop on an ARM linux system) and I use
colinux to cross compiling.
I have tested the console on 0.7.3 stable version.

* Copy and Paste
  It is possible using the mouse. Double click select and copy a word.
  Selecting copy the text in the clipboard
  Right button do paste.

* How try it
  The easiset way is to rename the old colinux-console-nt.exe and copy
the new one.
  An other way can be detach the old colinux-console-nt.exe with
ALT+WIN and run my version.
The only thing I have to remind is to avoid paste-ing of large block
od fata because it can block the colinux machine.

As soon as it is very very stable, I will send source to Henry.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Paolo

The frequency is a personal taste ;=)
I will put a #define so everyone can adjust it easyly.
The other suggestion is interesting .... without focus stop blinking
... I will do it.

Hi people,
yesterday evening I have sent to Henry the source code.
I have investigate on the error that someone of you have (the flushing
windows and immediate exit).
I thought it was a race condition error.
I have tried to add some Sleep so I can see the problem, but nothing.
Henry now is able to build the console and he can use it without
problem,both alunching it automatically by daemon and launching by
hand.
Maybe there is some version problem (kernel,daemon,compiler).

Bye,
Paolo

Hi Paolo,

In my humble opinion this is really good start. I've been using coLinux for
a long time and I still keep wondering how is good this piece of software.
Unfortunately the standard console cannot be actually used as an everyday
terminal and I use CRT or Putty instead. But your stuff seems to become a
great alternative. If you still have a wish to develop it: publish it under
an open source license, add tabs, configuration file or something -- that
would be great. ;-)

Regards,
Alexander
