This file describes the first console driver changes from the Linux Console Project. It applies to both the "Sapphire" patch for 2.2.x and the "Emerald" patch for 2.3.x. The second patch band changes fix the double off-by-one error which manifests itself in the accordeon test from vttest. The third band is a patch from linux-kernel: it has to do with wrongly neglecting the intensity bit in certain operations. The other patch bands make the following changes to the terminal emulation: Code Action Changed in patch Reason ------ --------------- ------------------ ---------------------------- \E[6m blink added Support for ECMA-48 \E[ n k VPB added : \E[ n j HPB added : \E[ n I CHT added : \E[ n W CTC added (n=0, 2, 5) : \E[ n Y CVT added : \E[ n Z CBT added : 0x84 IND added Supports VT220 8-bit mode 0x85 NEL added : 0x88 HTS added : 0x8d RI added : \E[?6n DECXCPR added More exact VT100 emulation \E[?15n Printer status added : \E[?25n UDK status added : \E[?26n Keyboard status added : \E[?75n Data integrity added : \E[x DECREQTPARM added : \E[21m turn off 1 removed Conflicts with ECMA-48 \E[s DECRC removed Not in either VT100 or ECMA-48 \E[u DECSC removed : All three removed capabilities are redundant with other escape sequences supported by the driver (\E[22m, \E7, and \E8 respectively). None are or have ever been used by the Linux terminfo/termcap entry.

Linus just announced 2.3.51 being the last 2.3 kernel and then he'll start with 2.4-pre and only accept bugfixes. So i guess i'll have to split the 2.3 patch into two pieces: - bugfixes for the VT emulator - enhancements of the VT emulator Just had 2.3.50, with the 2.3.40 patch applied, compile without problems. Unfortunately my laptop locks up when i boot it (not console related: the cardbus controller is probably grabbing the kbd irq for the ethernet card). Time now to get some well-deserved sleep...

Also Vojtech input suite didn't get in :( It looks like we have alot of work cut out for us. This means the ruby tree is going to be huge. The good news is that we have more time to work with the 2.4.X kernels. This way when 2.5.X hits we hit linus with lots of patches right away. The good news is with this project several people from several subsystems can work together to form a uniform and complete console system. As soon as pre-2.4.X comes out I will place the necessary trees from the source in CVS. Then we can play with it. We just have to keep it in sync with 2.4.X which will now be just bug fixes.

I'll conditionalize the Sapphire patch so the new features aren't enabled unless you set CONSOLE_VERSION >= 200. We should do the same thing with the 2.3.x patch. Maybe I'll get to both tonight. -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr">Eric S.
