Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-i18n@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I'm trying to port Akka (which is an Arabizing tool for the console on Linux).. I've been having a hard time getting the differences between the way FreeBSD and Linux handle the keyboard and console. In Akka (http://www.aunyx.og/ - available latest version) it gets and sets full Unicode screen mapping using: PIO_UNISCRNMAP and GIO_UNISCRNMAP (linux/kd.h).. Also, I don't know what the equivalent (or the FreeBSD implementation) of the Linux consolefontdesc.. is it the fnt8_t, fnt14_t, etc.. or am I looking at the wrong code? I've spend most of today looking at consio.h on freebsd and linux/vt.h and linux/kd.h on Linux and my eyes hurt. PLEASE HELP!
