were two races:
- q_to_b() might unexpectedly return 0 (e.g, after a keyboard signal
flushes the output queue and isn't echoed). ansi_put() interprets
0 bytes as 4GB...
- more output (e.g. for echoes) might arrive afer q_to_b() returns 0.
Then scstart() returns presumably and the new output might not be
handled for a long time.
Remove unused function scxint().
Fix prototypes (foo() isn't a prototype).
update what has actually been touched. This should speed up
screen access on slow hardware.
Introduced setting of "destructive" cursor size, much like
the old hardware cursor.
Let "grey delete" be a function key (default is 0x7f)
Fix the xor cursor again..
Made the backspace key generate del as default
Made CTRL-space generate nul as default.
(a) bring back ttselect, now that we have xxxdevtotty() it isn't dangerous.
(b) remove all of the wrappers that have been replaced by ttselect
(c) fix formatting in syscons.c and definition in syscons.h
(d) add cxdevtotty
NOT DONE:
(e) make pcvt work... it was already broken...when someone fixes pcvt to
link properly, just rename get_pccons to xxxdevtotty and we're done
(b) add a function callback vector to tty drivers that will return a pointer
to a valid tty structure based upon a dev_t
(c) make syscons structures the same size whether or not APM is enabled so
utilities don't crash if NAPM changes (and make the damn kernel compile!)
(d) rewrite /dev/snp ioctl interface so that it is device driver and i386
independant
Removed screensavers from syscons, they are now LKM's. This makes it
possible to do some really "interesting" screensavers...
Fixed bug that sometimes caused garbage to appear when leaving
"scroll-lock" history.
Reformattet indentation, it got too deep for a normal 80 pos screen.
Split up in syscons.c & syscons.h for use with the saver-lkm's.
Temporarily removed -s option from vidcontrol, savers should now
be loaded with modload.
