hmmm... i just rebuilt using the SC_HISTORY_SIZE option for sc [good
idea, it was always a pain in the ass hacking up syscons.h to do this].
there seems to be an undesireable new behavior for the sc scrollback
facility..
one of the functions in my .login is a `clear` to clear the console
when i log in. this seems to erase the entire scrollback buffer. the
old behavior was to ignore screen clears in the buffer.
i'm still running the Dec. 2 version of -current, but will be
cvsupping the latest in a few minutes... i can take a look at
syscons.c, and see if i can find where this is happening...
on another note, how about adding config options to change these via
config options [if you go through the trouble to put them in structs
instead of hard-coding them, you may as well make them easily
configurable]:
static default_attr user_default = {
(FG_CYAN | BG_BLACK) << 8,
(FG_BLUE | BG_LIGHTGREY) << 8
};
static default_attr kernel_default = {
(FG_YELLOW | BG_BLACK) << 8,
(FG_RED | BG_LIGHTGREY) << 8
};
