Changed ispcvt - to report status of compile time switch. - -- release beta 23 -------------------------------------------------------------- - -- removed some files for 386BSD as there is virtually noone outside - using it anymore - -- make pcvt_ioctl.h accept "KERNEL" or "_KERNEL" for NetBSD-current - -- configuration fix: patch from Rafal Boni for pcvt_vtf.c, he writes: - This patch lets one compile pcvt on a system that is lacking XSERVER - and UCONSOLE [or either?] in the config file. I found this while - trying to build a minimal floppy-based test kernel. The problem is - that roll_up and roll_down assume that PCVT_USL_COMPAT is - unconditionally set, and hence muck with parts of the video structure - that are only there if PCVT_USL_COMPAT is set. - (generalized the patch a bit so that fastscroll functionality is - not lost in case of PCVT_USL_COMPAT not being defined. -hm) - -- bugfix: pcvt_ext.c switch_screen() - when switching to a 25 line charset - pure VT emulation screen which has force 24 lines set, then we have - to clear the last line on screen (bugreport from Joerg). - -- added define PCVT_NONRESP_KEYB_TRY for how many times to try to detect - a non-connected keyboard. This was previously set to 100 and - Joerg reports a 5+ minutes delay for a 386 booting without keyboard. - Set to 25 now in the definition. Also made shure the messages in - the corresponding loop display only once. [doreset() in pcvt_kbd.c] - -- updated kbdio utility to include the 7 us delay and added a 'what' command - detect type of MCA motherboard keyboard controller according to - Frank van Gilluwe, "The Undocumented PC", Addison Wesley, pp 273 - -- "Gateway 2000" problem: after some discussion on the NetBSD port-i386 - mailing list about hanging keyboards, Martin Husemann sent in a - patch where each inb(CONTROLLER_DATA) is now preceeded by a - delay(6). This fixed his keyboard problem, the same was reported - from Roland McGrath for his Gateway 2000 keyboard/machine. - -- patch from John Kohl for usl_vt_ioctl() in file pcvt_ext.c, he writes: - This is probably a long standing bug. tsleep() returns ERESTART - if it's interrupted. ERESTART is -1, which means that the - VT_WAITACTIVE call returns from usl_vt_ioctl() with -1, - meaning "not one of my ioctl's". - -- patch from Matthieu Herrb for NetBSD-current (post 1.0) support - -- patch from Joerg for FreeBSD pre-2.1 support - -- added file ToDo in directory Doc - -- fix for Util/Makefile.inc.NetBSD-c from Onno - -- removing unnecessary Trident support code from pcvt_out.c - -- fix from Onno for IST_EDGE in NetBSD-current - -- patch from Thomas Eberhardt to fix the bell frequency and duration setting - for NetBSD - -- some fixes from Onno van der Linden for NetBSD - -- added patch for NetBSD-current from Rafal Boni and Lon Willett - -- added another mega patch from Lon Willett fixing several bugs: - - 1 -- Misc porting changes to deal with NetBSD-current, including - a new Util/Makefile.inc.NetBSD-current. - - 2 -- The Control_R scancodes were being mapped to the Control_L - pcvt keynum. - - 3 -- FASTSCROLL/graphics-mode problem: there was a problem where - switching from a graphics screen to a text screen would corrupt - the text screen's content if it had been scrolling using the - FASTSCROLL code. (The problem is the bcopy() from kernel to - video memory was using the vs[i].Memory pointer as the source, - instead of the vs[i].Crtat pointer). This is fixed in the beta - 21 release by just disabling the fast scroll code for screens - which aren't active. - - The patch I'm sending you re-enables the fast scroll code on - inactive (i.e. in kernel memory) screens, saving a few cpu - cycles. - - 4 -- This is a big one: running multiple X servers was not - really working. The USL handshaking code was a mess (not very - well designed to begin with, but there's not much that can be - done about that). I did manage to get it fairly functional, but - there's a lot of changes. - -- changing example rc.local to take care of good old EGA's - -- fixing support for EGA boards in vt_coldinit() - -- removing vt100 font files from Util/fonts, updated Manifest - -- fixing an obviously longstanding bug in roll_up() / roll_down() which was - triggered by Joergs "Crtat" cleanup mega patch. - -- removing PCVT_FAKE_SYSCONS10 - -- removing duplicate names in termcap entries - -- fixing vt_coldinit: setting variable "color" for mda/hercules and cga - initializing cursor position - -- fixing roll_up() and roll_down() for mda/hercules: mda's have ALWAYS - just one page of memory, original hercules boards too so they - can NEVER use the fastscroll option. SOME hercules are somehow - enhanced in that they support 2 pages. pcvt now just supports - one page hercules/mda! - -- made cleanups to 8x14 high and 8x8 high fonts: adjust the 5 scanline - characters to adjust with the corner characters from the low fonts - -- applying patch from Joerg which fixes some bugs: - - writing to a tty containing an X server resulted in some stange - behaviour depending on the opsys and opsys version used - - the init code preserving the screen contents and cursor shape - can only be done on boards allowing the reading of - several crtc registers - -- removed bcopyb declaration from pcvt_hdr.h for FreeBSD 2.1 - -- another patch from Lon Willett (willett@math.utah.edu), he writes: - - 1 -- Very minor: One of my previous changes didn't get merged - into "pcvt_out.c"; the caclulation of ws_row doesn't account for - "force24" at one spot. It's easier to just set it from - screen_rows anyway, unless there's something that I didn't - understand happening here. - - 2 -- Debugging stuff: I don't know if you care to add it, but I - found it useful, so I left it in. I rearranged the - PCVT_SHOWKEYS code a little, and added a few lines to show - keyboard commands and responses, with special delimiters. - [file: pcvt_kbd.c] - - 3 -- "kcon" utility enhancement: I added a "-R" switch to kcon - to do a KBDRESET ioctl. [file: Util/kcon/kcon.c] - - 4 -- KBDRESET-ioctl bug: the code was trying to read kbd - responses without an spltty(), so naturally it would fail, since - pcrint() was grabbing the ACKs. [file: pcvt_kbd.c] - - 5 -- update_led() makes kbd hang: the problem here is that - update_led() makes the keyboard generate two KEYB_R_ACK - responses, and one of the interrupts sometimes gets lost when - there is a lot of other I/O happening. See the comment in the - code. My fix seems to work for me, but you may want to handle - it some other way. It would probably be quite reasonable to - check for lost interrupts periodically anyway, whether - update_led() has been called or not. [file: pcvt_kbd.c] - - (NOTE: item 5 has been disabled because it causes older - FreeBSD's to panic because of the timer queue not being - initialized at the time called. -hm) - -- partly rewrote doreset() in pcvt_kbd.c to enable boot procedure to proceed - if no (PC) keyboard is found. The current behaviour and implementation - is subject to change. - -- patch from Thomas Gellekum to Util/keycap/keycap.src - -- minor modification to main.c in Util/set2061 - -- patch from Onno and John Kohl to make pcvt beta 16 work on NetBSD current: - 1. pcvt_conf.h - _real_ 1.0 ===> NetBSD1_0 == 1 - current 1.0 (1.0A) ===> NetBSD1_0 == 2 - 2. pcvt_hdr.h - Put pcvt_conf.h before _all_ the #ifdef PCVT_*. This way - the #ifdef NetBSDx_y stuff can do its work. - -- size of PCVT_BURST was still reported as 1 for FreeBSD 2.0, fixed - -- made some adjustments for FreeBSD 2.0 in Util/vgaio - -- Another patch from Joerg for FreeBSD 2.0 - -- included vgaio, kbdio and set2061 into the outer Makefile, this programs - are build and cleaned but don't install anything. - All program's in the Util dir should now cleanly make <anything> ... - -- enable 132 column support for Trident TVGA8900CL, some NetBSDisms - -- addend patch from Joerg for pcvt-320b7 to fix FreeBSD 2.0's ttymalloc's - encapsulation into #if's. Also new keycap.src entry. - -- fixed keyboard status/LED not updated on soft reset emulator - -- on 23rd of December i had some spare time, so i added some demos to the - Util/demo directory as well a a time-killer program (playvt) to view - some of the VT animations and a christmas animation i got from Joerg. - -- added a new utility set2061 to program the clock generator on my S3 based - ELSA Winner VGA board. This eventually lets me use 132 columns on this - board, because i'm now able to program the clock to generate 40MHz - on clock output #2. - -- debugged winsize patch on FreeBSD 1.1, line discipline open init's the - queues, winsize initialization must happen after line disc. open! - -- got a bunch of NetBSD PR's from J.T. Conklin: - - PR #214: PCVT treats ctrl-shift exactly like shift for most characters. - (fixed by Lon Willet's Mega Patch described below -hm) - - PR #399: If you define PCVT_META_ESC when builting PCVT, Meta-Return - sends 0x8d instead of ESC RET. - (fixed by applying the patch from Bill Sommerfeld. -hm) - - PR #400: pcvt sometimes gets confused about window size - (fixed by applying the patch from Bill Sommerfeld. -hm) - - PR #404: Meta-Control-Space broken with PCVT_META_ESC and PCVT_NULLCHARS - (put into "BugList" file, no solution yet .. -hm) - - PR #488: pcvt can loose keyboard control if you start an xserver from - an xterm - (already fixed by a patch from John Kohl, see below -hm) - - PR #580: NetBSD i386/pcvt bugs/enhancements; fixes included - (already integrated the patch from Lon Willet, see below -hm) - -- on coldinit, if FAT_CURSOR is defined, the old large blockcursor is used - -- enhanced the vgaio output in an attempt to make 132 column mode work - for my S3 board .... - -- applied patch from Thomas Gellekum: install instructions for FreeBSD 2.0, - patch to fontedit to compile under FreeBSD 2.0, an addition to - keycap.src and a fix for kbdio - -- changed installation instructions to reflect recent changes, removed - instructions for FreeBSD 1.0 and added instructions for FreeBSD 2.0 - -- upgraded all utilities version strings to 3.20 - -- new example of rc.local - -- changing timeout()/untimeout() function parameter type to TIMEOUT_FUNC_T - definition in pcvt_hdr.h - -- changed install instructions to reference Etc dir instead of Doc dir for - several files which were moved from Doc to Etc. - -- new parameter -d for the cursor utility, updated cursor manpage - -- applying a patch from Lon Willett, willett@math.utah.edu which fixes - several bugs and provides some enhancements. Lon writes: - - 1 -- The displayed cursor is not updated during kernel I/O, - because async_update() doesn't get called. This is merely ugly - while the system startup messages are being displayed, but it is - positively annoying when using the kernel debugger. - - 2 -- CONTROL-SHIFT-<KEY> is taken to be the same as SHIFT-<KEY>. - It should be interpretted as CONTROL-<KEY>, or even have its own - binding. One of the lines below fixes it in the former way. - This is especially bad (i.e. clearly buggy) when I type - CONTROL-SHIFT-<6/^> to get a "Control-^", and instead get a "^". - - 3 -- The "special" region at the bottom of the screen, i.e. the - function-key-labels/status-line in HPVT mode, and the blank line - in FORCE24LINES mode, do not get properly cleared/updated. - - 4 -- When switching screen sizes/modes, the FORCE24LINES setting - is not always handled. - - 5 -- The PCVT_VT220KEYB functions are missing some features. - The control key settings are bug fixes; they apply only if - system function key labels are on, and match the labels. The - shift key definitions are enhancements. - - The new keys (previously undefined) are: - - Control-F1 -- toggle 80/132 columns - Control-F2 -- soft reset emulator - Control-F3 -- toggle force 24 lines mode - Control-F4 -- toggle keyboard debugging - - Shift-F1 -- select screen 4 - Shift-F2 -- select screen 5 - Shift-F3 -- select screen 6 - Shift-F4 -- select screen 7 - Shift-F5 -- select (current screen - 1) - - 6 -- [Enhancement] The initial startup screen is cleared, and - the screen gets cleared when changing modes/sizes. I don't like - this. I want a chance to see bootstrap loader messages, and I - also want the command "scon -d/dev/ttyv0 -H -s28" in my - rc.local, but then I lose various messages from daemons, etc - (which aren't always logged to syslog). So I have fixed the - code so that it tries to preserve the contents of the screen - when starting up, and when changing modes/sizes. - - 7 -- [Enhancement?] I added code to preserve the initial cursor - shape at startup. This isn't really necessary, since the - "cursor" command can be used to set it to your preference; but - it seems like this is the preferable policy to use for the - default. - -- applying patches from Onno van der Linden and Martin Husemann: adding - support for post 1.0 NetBSD-current and adding PCVT_NO_LED_UPDATE - -- patch from Joerg Wunsch: support for FreeBSD 2.0 and better support - for serial console coexistence - -- bugreport from Michael Havemester regarding PCVT_NOFASTSCROLL: it was - not enabled in pcvt_vtf.c, fixed. - -- renamed pcvt_disable_intr and pcvt_enable_intr to PCVT_DISABLE_INTR and - PCVT_ENABLE_INTR (Joerg) - -- attempt to automatically compile time configure in pcvt_conf.h, how - does FreeBSD do this ? should work for NetBSD (from Onno v.d. Linden) - -- split off pcvt_kbd.h from pcvt_kbd.c, file > 100k - -- split off pcvt_config.h from pcvt_hdr.h. All compile time configurations - should be put into pcvt_config.h now. - -- moved version definitions to begin of file in pcvt_ioctl.h and pcvt_hdr.h - -- fixing NetBSD #ifdef in pcvt_drv.c - -- fixed bug in scon. when doing "scon -c <num>" the destination screen was - cleared, this is fixed now by properly setting "force_24lines" - -- added kbdio utility from Joerg into Util directory - -- changed font dir from /usr/share/misc/vgafonts to /usr/share/misc/pcvtfonts - -- Fix for Gateway 2000 keyboard problems from Brian Moore - -- Starting to implement more keymoard mapping layers in pcvt_kbd.c. This - section is a building site, enclosed in NOT_YET_DEF ifdef's - -- VT_SETMODE ioctl patch from John Kohl <jtk@kolvir.blrc.ma.us>, see text - from John in the source file pcvt_ext.c - -- patch from Joerg for kbd_emulate_pc(), intro of timeout - -- fixed bug in soft/hard reset and real system fkey labels - -- added patch from Joerg for FreeBSD 1.1.5.1R - -- fixed both SR and SF entries in termcap database file - -- removed SR entry in termcap database file (bugreport from John Perry) - -- bugfix in cirrus 132 column switching got from Onno/Charles - -- french keycap database entry from Matthieu Herrb - -- cleanup patch from Joerg for Util/demo/Makefile und Util/fonts/Makefile - - -Changes 3.00 -> 3.10 June 1994 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -- patch from Joerg correcting my assumed timeout/untimeout FreeBSD casts - -- adjusted some #if's while validating NetBSD 0.9 and NetBSD-current - -- rolled in Joerg's changes for a pre-1.1.5 (?)

Burditt, gordon@sneaky.lonestar.org) - -- modified Makefile for Support/ispcvt to copy it for installation instead - of moving it .. - -- renamed /usr/share/misc/keycap -> /usr/share/misc/keycap.pcvt to - avoid nameclash with same file for codrv (Gordon Burditt) - -- security bit no longer ignored when initializing keyboard (see #define - PCVT_USEKBDSEC in pcvt_hdr.h, suggested by Terry Lambert) - -- cpufunc.h include made only for NetBSD (Gordon Burditt) - -- switch statement in pcvt_drv.c removed for 386BSD (Gordon Burditt) - -- Trident cursor size bug removed - -- keyboard initialization for ddb - -- added support for cursor on/of switching, screensaver and DECTCEM - -- removed explicit Hercules support, MDA = Hercules in this context now - -- patchkit from Joerg Wunsch (kbd-overlay malloc, scroll_sleep, clip fix) - -- ispcvt now installed into /usr/sbin - -- removed PCVT_NETBSD08 and PCVT_NETBSDCU, intro of PCVT_NETBSD - -- implemented 132 column operation for wd90c11 chipsets - -- PCVT_PREPATCH022 renamed to PCVT_NEEDPG - -- INSTALLATION.NetBSD written - -- DEVICE in kcon makefile changed from /dev/console to /dev/ttyc0 - -- new keyboard code in pcvt_kbd.c from NetBSD current - -- new /etc/rc.local script in INSTALLATION - -- implemented 132 column operation for et4000 chipsets - -- detection of super vga chipsets as a prerequisite for 132 col mode - -- switched to memory mapped virtual screen operation, configurable no. of - virtual screens, virtual screens now also on MDA and Hercules boards - - -Changes 2.10 -> 2.20 June 1993 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -- added new option -a to scon to get the video adaptor in scripts - -- support for NetBSD-current, define PCVT_NETBSDCU to enable it - -- Support for NetBSD 0.8, define PCVT_NETBSD08 in pcvt_hdr.h to enable it. - -- Change Support/Makefile to use <bsd.subdir.mk> instead of <bsd.prog.mk> - -- Font editor for the EGA/VGA font-files added to support the design of new - fonts. One will need Zeyd M. Ben-Halim's ncurses library to compile it, see - file README.FIRST for information where to get it - -- Doc/INSTALLATION upgraded - -- Terminfo entry added to support Zeyd M. Ben-Halim's ncurses port - -- ispcvt is now installed in /sbin to have it at boottime if /usr is not - yet mounted. - -- applied a patch which prevents CAPS LOCK, SHIFT LOCK, and SCROLL LOCK - from being repeated (causing i.e a flashing CAPS LOCK led while - holding CAPS LOCK key down). - (diff from Gordon L. Burditt, gordon@sneaky.lonestar.org) - -- merging patches to support the pccons-model of X11 server support - (diff from Joerg Wunsch, joerg_wunsch@uriah.sax.de) - -- file pcvt_drv.c routine pg() enclosed in "#ifdef PCVT_PREPATCH022" to solve - multiple defined symbols beginning with patchkit 0.2.2 - (reported by Marko Karppinen, dreamer@purkki.apu.fi) - -- added british keycap entry into keycap source file - (from Andy Duplain, duplain@rtf.bt.co.uk) - - -Changes 2.00 -> 2.10 March 1993 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -- detecting the presence of video boards has been changed to ask the - BIOS "equipment byte" in the RTC-CMOS ram what's installed. this caused - many discussions but solved also many problems .... - -- driver name changed from "pc" to "vt" for multiple driver coexistence - (diff from Joerg Wunsch, joerg_wunsch@uriah.sax.de) - -- new devicenames recommended for showup in utils like "ps" - (many people suggested that ..) - -- new location for manual pcvt.0 - (diff from Joerg Wunsch, joerg_wunsch@uriah.sax.de) - -- new demo file "sgr.vt" to show available graphic renditions - -- intro of Doc/ChangeLog (this file) - -- fixed bug in Support/keycap/Makefile - (diff from Gordon L. Burditt, gordon@sneaky.lonestar.org) - -- make vttest (main.c) compile after applying patchkit-beta2 - -- screensaver fixed by Joerg Wunsch - -- screensaver now compiled in by default - -- made recognition of CONTROL-ALT-DELETE an optional #ifdef'ed feature - -- added sgr-conversion table for MDA adaptors - -- fixed sgr-conversion table for VGA monochrome environments - -- added support for using the kernel debugger - (diff from Bruce Evans, bde@runx.oz.au) - -- fixed several bugs regarding monochrome environments in pcvt_sup.c - -- fixed bug in scon preventing one from piping output though more - (reported by Gordon L. Burditt, gordon@sneaky.lonestar.org) - -- display current screen number in HP-mode in the bottom right of screen - -- changed names of all #define-able compile time options to start with - "PCVT_" for easy identification and installation into the kernel config file - -- applied another pcvt_kbd.c patchkit from Bruce Evans, bde@runx.oz.au. he - writes: - - These fixes are mainly related to ddb. sgetc has a weird interface that - has caused some bugs, and it was too easy for ddb to reenter itself. - - 1. Don't use char for keypad2num, char might be unsigned. Space is not - important since the array is small. - - 2. Don't use u_short for n. - - 3. Change some 0's to NULLs. - - 4. sgetc must not return NULL for the !noblock case. Only callers with - noblock set check for the null pointer. When the kernel follows a - null pointer, I think page 0 is sometimes mapped in so nothing bad - happens. The kernel panics if the page is not mapped in. - - 5. Reentrancy fix. The debugger really ought to check for reentrancy - itself, but the driver still needs to return early after the - debugger returns, so that it doesn't return a junk ESC from - ctrl-alt-ESC. - - 6. xlatkey2ascii may return NULL too. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
