No, only for the input part (if at all). The ``buggy pty'' behaviour that for example bites the Emergency Holographic Shell is certainly not your fault. I think the ScrollLock feature used to have problems all the time, in particular if output data arrived while one was scrolling back. You know, i've been also once yelling at you for making the keyboard driver in the 2.2 branch a ``patch of the day'' work, but it seems it's now more stable than it used to be before. Unless you are really sure that ripping it out again will cure at least one or two very annoying problems, it's probably not worth doing. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
