System: FreeBSD palm.hoeg.nl 6.3-STABLE FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE #0: Sun Apr 20 17:23:31 CEST 2008 ed@palm.hoeg.nl:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PALM i386
>Description:
The new TTY layer I'm developing supports the /dev/ptmx device to remain
compatible with Linux and FreeBSD binaries.
I notice that screen's configure tries to detect /dev/ptmx. If it is
present, it prefers /dev/ptmx over the openpty() routine that's
currently being used.
We shouldn't use it, because screen fails to use the allocated PTY
afterwards.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
The following patch makes the configure script check for /nonexistent
instead of /dev/ptmx, which doesn't exist. This effectively disables the
/dev/ptmx code in screen.
