I finally got the new console code to compiloe and now it is in the testing phase. I'm hoping to have it ready by Wednesday. I will post as soon as I get it to work. Note only vgacon will work with the new console system. I will update teh other drivers later. Q: Why did they deprecate a.out support in linux? A: Because a nasty coff is bad for your elf.

Hi! More reports for more bug fixes. All the ioctl have pretty much been tested and they passed. They all should be multihead safe. Next is to enable console resizing for any console sub system. I will be attempting this with vgacon. I even have early support for TIOCSWINSZ. This allows for change the screen size of a single VC. |

Worst of all: my laptop has finally broken down and i am to expect a courier from Dell on Monday to pick it up. I've saved all my work, no sweat, but until i get it back there is not much development work possible: both my SS10 and my Multia have terrible turn-around times for kernel compilation. Not to mention that 486DX-100 with is doubling as my ISDN router. Good news is: i will be on vacation beginning mid-April for three weeks and i expect that i will find lots of time to do some coding...

Yikes. That's why you have been quite. After may I will be free this summer. I will graduation from college and as of yet have no job so I will have plenty of free time. Just need money to eat :( I'm still working on Vojtechs stuff. The driver/char/keybaord.c code looks like its needds lots of fixing.

I ran in to a design defect in the keytables code: you can´t specify alternate sequences, which is quite important for 8-bit mode. If you look at the DEC keyboard tables you will find that the function keys and numeric keypad keys send CSI or SS3 as prefix with is different depending on whether you are in 7 or 8 bit mode. I also found a couple of errors in the default keymap wrt to F1..F5: we are sending sequences i can not find in any doc from DEC... Also we might have a bit of a problem implementing backarrow key mode and some other DEC keyboard related modes without changing the keyboard driver. It that is worth the effort is yet another question.

It that is worth the effort is yet another question. I ported over the bulk of Vojtech work. It's in CVS. I didn't modified keyboard.c and console.c and vt.c with Vojtech work. We have to work on cleaning up the keyboard events to console mapping. We have to break it up into peices. |
