ask for matching confirmation. I'm sure there is a clever direct-from-perl
ioctl way of putting the terminal into noecho mode, but I don't feel like
learning perl so I just used system. [yes, I'll put stty on the installation
boot floppy as necessary]
biosextmem > 65536, but biosextmem is a 16-bit quantity so it is
guaranteed to be < 65536. Related cruft for biosbasemem was
mostly cleaned up in rev.1.26.
It worked because it is spelled correctly in LINT.
Added old obscure syscons options MAXCONS, SLOW_VGA and XT_KEYBOARD.
This file should be sorted both alphabetically and on the module
name by using a consistent prefix for each module, but there is no
consistency in the old options. E.g., MAXCONS is spelled PCVT_NSCREENS
for pcvt.
works from startup, and works with XFree86 via /dev/sysmouse, it should
be started at boot and left running.
Pointed out by: Sujal Patel <smpatel@umiacs.umd.edu>
and xdm, possibly in general.
What was happening was that the server was doing a tcsetattr(.. TCSADRAIN)
on the mouse fd after a write. Since /dev/sysmouse had a null t_oproc,
the drain failed with EIO. Somehow this spammed XFree86 (!@&^#%*& binary
release!!), and the driver was left in a bogus state (ie: switch_in_progress
permanently TRUE).
The simplest way out was to implement a dummy scmousestart() routine to
accept any characters from the tty system and toss them into the void.
It would probably be more correct to intercept scwrite()'s to the mouse
device, but that's executed for every single write to the screen.
Supplying a start routine to eat the characters is only executed for the
mouse port during startup/shutdown, so it should be faster.
-I- to CFLAGS. <sb.h> must currently be used to give the version
of sb.h in the current directory, while "sb.h" in the buggy version
gave the (wrong) version in the source directory. Searching in the
source directory first is normal, but is the reverse of the order
suggested by the 4.4Lite2 #include style. -I- will remove the
ambiguities.
I could find. This change does the following:
- s/usage()/break;/ in handling the -s switch.
- use err/warn instead of fprintf(stderr, ... strerror()); exit(1);
- implement Hitachi PUMA HitTablet support from the XFree86 code,
whatever the hell that is. :-)
- correctly implement baud rate setting, too much was cut from the
XFree86 code, the critical parts were a sweep over all likely
mouse powerup baud rates to switch it to the reqested rate.
- logitech support was busted (at least on mine, which is autosensing
and runs in either mmseries or logitech mode depending on the handshake
code at startup. Among other things, you talk to it at 1200, then
switch to the target baud later.
Some remaining problems.. samplerate setting is missing, but I've not
found where this is meant to be set yet. I presume this is resolution
setting of some kind.
In case you're wondering, the gcc-2.7.2.1 import uses this to generate
code. The size of the generated code is bigger than the entire bison
release, making this a saving. The bison doc is pretty good apparently.
conflict with the other declarations in other files. tputs() is
traditionally declared to return int, not void. curses.h has it as int.
ncurses has int and actually sets the return value. This problem has
been causing the ircII port to not compile.
(I've only minimally tested this, I do not have libtermcap on my systems)
Sorry if this makes it harder to merge in lite2 stuff but hey..
At least I can figure out what is going on whenever I end up going through those
files again..
do we have a policy regarding commenting existing code?
