Hi! Here is the latest console code that has been sitting around in Dave Jone's tree for some time. This patch removes the many global variables the console system uses. Since Vojtech input keyboards went this diff has shrunk. If you could apply it I would be happy. bk://linuxconsole.bkbits.net/dev |

Hi! The console code from Dave Jones tree has been updated to the latest input changes. Could you intergrate into your BK tree. I have tested on my local system. It has many of the fixes that have been posted. Note this is the last large change. http://linuxconsole.bkbits.net:8080/dev Thank you. MS: (n) 1.

Hi folks!!! Along with the new fbdev api I also have rewritten the console layer. The goals are: 1) The idea here was to move alot of the basic functionaly present in alot of low level drivers into the the higher layers thus making the low level drivers smaller and cleaner. A good example is using the /dev/fb interface to resize a VC. That is just plain dumb. 2) The second goal was to seperate out the terminal emulation to allow for a light weight printk. Also the idea was to make the VT console system modular. On embedded devices then we can insmod the VT console system. This is partially done. 3) Multi-desktop systems. Already done this. The current code in BK doesn't support this just yet as I have a few bug to beat out for single headed systems. It will take about one more week to get this ready. I doubt this code will go into 2.5.X but it is avaiable for anyone to play with it. bk://linuxconsole.bkbits.net BTW I will make patches avaiable as soon as 2.5.45 comes out. MS: (n) 1.

Give my console diff a try. http://phoenix.infradead.org/~jsimmons/console.diff.gz Its against 2.5.45. It has 3 bugs I know of. 1) Switch back to X messes up the screen. 2) I had to disable the beeper. I have to think of a proper solution to that problem with Vojtech. 3) Software suspend is broken because the console has moved from the global int currcons to private struct vc_data to represent a VC. BTW what was the author of that code trying to do any ways? |

Just the VT console code. It does effect the console display drivers tho. |

Just mail out a normal patch, like everyone else. M. |

Click on "CVS". Ok, but if i'm not misstaken the CVS tree is quite behind the current code, i think yesterday it was at linux-2.5.37( or even 2.5.27) it's not useable :(( > > Yeah, of course ... his psychic power must be weakening, he > should have magically been able to guess that because .... > > That's not a patch, it's a CVS tree.

As far as I understand it, he just provided you a status report so that you could see what's going on etc (especially relevant around the Oct-31 deadline), and he fullfiled his promise and sent the patches as soon as 2.5.45 came out, didn't he?

I hope this fixes it.... It will. I'm waiting for the latest patches whcih do fix all those problems. As soon as I get them I will post a updated patch for the fbdev changes. |
