[Linuxconsole-dev] Progress on Sapphire

[Eric S. R. <es...@sn...>]

OK.  I think I have a minimal patch, equivalent to Dominik's 2.2.1
patch, that works on the 2.2.12 console.c.  This is a candidate for
Sapphire 1, but it's not tested yet; I should probably sleep before I
try rebuilding my kernel ;-).

Dominik, am I correct in believing these are all of the functional
changes in the emulation?

\E[6m	blink		added
\E[21m	turn off 1	removed
0x84	IND		added
0x85	NEL		added
0x88	HTS		added
0x8d	RI		added
\E[?6n	DECXCPR		added
\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[ 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
\E[s	DECRC		removed
\E[u	DECSC		removed

And, if I have it right, you didn't mess with anything that was

(a) before the comment "VT102 emulator"
(b) after the end of do_con_trol (except for the ESnormal->ESinit
change in do_con_write). 

If so, then I have reduced the patch from 99K to 18K.  I think this 
makes it rather more likely to be accepted :-).

Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of
authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was
made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There
are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to
govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.
