Right now syscons(4) uses a cons25-style terminal emulator. The disadvantages of that are: - Little compatibility with embedded devices with serial interfaces. - Bad bandwidth efficiency, mainly because of the lack of scrolling regions. - A very hard transition path to support for modern character sets like UTF-8. Our terminal emulation library, libteken, has been supporting xterm-style terminal emulation for months, so flip the switch and make everyone use an xterm-style console driver. I still have to enable this on i386. Right now pc98 and i386 share the same /etc/ttys file. I'm not going to switch pc98, because it uses its own Kanji-capable cons25 emulator. IMPORTANT: What to do if things go wrong (i.e. graphical artifacts): - Run the application inside script(1), try to reduce the problem and send me the log file. - In the mean time, you can run `vidcontrol -T cons25' and `export TERM=cons25' so you can run applications the same way you did before. You can also build your kernel with `options TEKEN_CONS25' to make all virtual terminals use the cons25 emulator by default. Discussed on: current@
