Vladimir Kondratyev <wulf@freebsd.org> has reassigned Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to x11@FreeBSD.org: Bug 220562: [patch] x11-servers/xorg-server: fix terminal initialization in absence of xf86-input-keyboard driver https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D220562 --- Description --- Created attachment 184182 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D184182&action= =3Dedit x11-servers.xorg-server.patch Xorg-server is the program that shares framebuffer with the kernel terminal emulator. To avoid interference it must disable terminal output on start and restore on finish. Currently it is done partially by xorg-server itself, partially by and xf86-input-keyboard driver. Switching to xf86-input-evdev or xf86-input-libinput as keyboard events source disables xf86-input-keyboard = and broke terminal handling. Attached patch fixes terminal initialization with copy-pasting missing chun= ks of code from xf86-input-keyboard to xorg-server. Similar changes are already done in Linux-specific parts of xorg-server (See hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/lnx_init.c). Attached patch: 1. Disables processing of special keys (CTRL-C, ALT-Fn) by switching termin= al keyboard to K_RAW mode. 2. Turns off annoying bell on input queue overflow. 3. Disables terminal echoing. It is believed that switching terminal to KD_GRAPHICS mode should do #3, but that is wrong at least on VT consoles.
