Would anyone be interested in patches to support the below functionality in 2.1.5? I have the first version of the patches (ie. the one that Soren released on 96/06/21) working locally on a 2.1.5 system; no real changes were required to make them fit 2.1.5, just some manual patching since there have been a number of changes to the syscons driver. I haven't gotten as far as bring them up to date on the improvements he has made to it after the initial commit; as long as the API changes don't cause problems on a 2.1.5 system, I should have my patches for 2.1.5 up to date sometime this week. If there is any interest in these patches, I will bundle them up sometime this week and put them up for ftp somewhere. > > Date: Fri, 21 Jun 1996 12:54:12 +0200 (MET DST) > From: sos@freebsd.org > To: current@freebsd.org (FreeBSD current) > Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org > Subject: Syscons CUT&PASTE functionality added... > > _________________________________________________________________ > > > I just put in the last bits to get CUT&PASTE to work in syscons. > This now allow one to C&P between the consoles using the mouse > to select the needed text. > For this to work, run the moused daemon with the prober parameters > specifying mousetype & port.
