- hi,
-
- i just posted a pccons driver for vga-boards to alt.sources. this one is
- strictly for vga owners, no other boards are supported yet, sorry!
-
- it's possible, that it may not everybodies taste, for me it is a great
- enhancement of my 386bsd environment. if you don't like it, cat * >/dev/null!
-
- being a (character-) terminal user, my objective was to 1. provide vt100
- functionality and 2. to get function key labels, which i got used to since
- my first meeting with an hp3000 series II and 3. "cheap" virtual screens.
-
- i'd like to thank holger veit for his keyboard code, without it something
- i did would not be possible. he reported some bugs to me, some i could fix,
- one (a trap while pressing keys) is not reproducable by me, so ...
-
- the additional code posted contains mostly all my development environment,
- it is posted in the hope to speed up further development and bugfixing.
-
- this code is far from being perfect, but i think, it's a startpoint.
-
- this whole stuff ran now several weeks without noticable instabilities
- on a 486/16Mb/scsi machine, so i think it is time now to let it go.
-
- thanks to lynne, bill and all the contributors to 386bsd !
-
- ps: if someone has code to detect, what type of card is installed (mda,
- cga,ega,vga) and this code avoids the use of the programming language
- "int10", i would like to hear from him !
