(hm@freebsd.org) At that time i worked on a version of pcvt containing all the patches and fixes people sent in and the ones i grabbed from PR's. Further, all the ifdef spaghetti is removed (and as a result, only FreeBSD is supported anymore) and all the dead code of the "old" way of X server interfacing. The result is available at http://www.hcs.de/users/hm/hm-projects.html Pcvt needs much more cleanup and some enhancements here and there, and when i realized how much work this would be, i stopped ;-) Instead of working on pcvt, i would let it rest in peace if it were possible to move its functionality to a new modularized and open console driver. The idea of such a modularized open console driver is nice and i certainly like to work on a (pc)VT emulation for it. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis Tel +49 40 559747-70 HCS Hanseatischer Computerservice GmbH Fax +49 40 559747-77 Oldesloer Strasse 97-99 Mail hm [at] hcs.de 22457 Hamburg WWW http://www.hcs.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
