This is to announce the final beta test cycle for pcvt 3.20, beta 24
Pcvt is a video/keyboard driver for i386-based NetBSD (0.9, 1.0 and -current)
and for FreeBSD (1.0, 1.1R, 1.1.5.1R, 2.0 and -current)
Pcvt has almost full VT220 compatibility, supports national keyboard remapping,
24/25/28/40/50 lines and 80/132 columns and a configurable number of virtual
screens for character terminal and X11 sessions. It comes with a complete set
of fonts, utilities and documentation for easy integration into the above
mentioned systems.
The next official release of pcvt will happen on April 30 1995.
There will be a least one other beta cycle until then.
Beta 24 is the release candiate and i will only accept bugfix patches for it.
Things done since beta 23:
bugfixes for
- typo in fastscroll code (causing X problems)
- modified keyboard controller delay handling
- FreeBSD-current support
- Hercules text mode restore (from X) should work again
- potential divide by 0 problem fixed
- fkey label update problem fixed
almost completely removed support for 386BSD 0.1
Please have a look at Doc/ChangeLog for details.
Pcvt should run without restrictions under FreeBSD-current, the problem
regarding 'just one login on console' has been fixed in the FreeBSD kernel
by and according to Joerg.
Gateway 2000 keyboard problem: anyone with such a device please test this
release and give some feedback, the delay is now done by default as dummy
reads from port 0x84 because i got keyboard hangs under X with the delay()/
DELAY() method, look for PCVT_PORTIO_DELAY in the source for details.
Beta 23 had a typo which caused some severe problems (Danke, Martin !!!),
please throw away beta 23 and upgrade to beta 24. (The problem was caused
by an '#if defined (PCVT_USL_COMPAT)' instead of '#if PCVT_USL_VT_COMPAT').
