|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Ss Overview
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides a virtual screen handling system.
|
|
Probably most important is an emulation of a wide range
|
|
of DEC
|
|
.Tn VT-220
|
|
functionality.
|
|
See
|
|
.Sx Features
|
|
for a detailed description.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver requires the keyboard driver
|
|
.Nm atkbd
|
|
to be also configured in the kernel.

|
.Ss Scrollback
|
|
Each virtual
|
|
.Nm
|
|
virtual terminal has 8 pages of memory attached which are used as a
|
|
scrollback buffer.
|
|
By using
|
|
.Em SHIFT-PageUp
|
|
and
|
|
.Em SHIFT-PageDown
|
|
it is possible to scroll the screen back and forward.
|
|
.Ss Configuration
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
console driver is available for the Intel-based
|
|
.Fx
|
|
operating system.
|
|
It has been designed to be highly configurable in order to satisfy
|
|
everyone's needs.
|
|
The preferred way for those configurations is to
|
|
provide appropriate
|
|
.Em options
|
|
lines within the config file, possibly overriding the built-in default
|
|
values.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following list gives a short overview of the available configuration
|
|
options.
|
|
Refer to the file
|
|
.Pa i386/isa/pcvt/pcvt_conf.h
|
|
in the kernel source tree for detailed documentation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note: the following conventions apply to all the Boolean options.
|
|
If an option is given with no value, a value of 1
|
|
(activated)
|
|
is substituted.
|
|
If an option value is given as 0, this options is
|
|
deactivated.
|
|
Any other value is substituted by 1, too.
|
|
If an option
|
|
is omitted, a built-in default is assumed.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Em PCVT_NSCREENS
|
|
Defines the number of virtual screens.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Default: 8
|
|
.It Em PCVT_VT220KEYB
|
|
If activated, a keyboard layout resembling a DEC VT200 (TM) is generated.
|
|
If deactivated, a mixture between VT220 and HP is used.
|
|
See the files
|
|
.Pa Keyboard.VT
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa Keyboard.HP
|
|
in the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
documentation directory for a full description.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Default: off
|
|
.It Em PCVT_SCREENSAVER
|
|
Enables the builtin screensaver feature.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Default: on
|
|
.It Em PCVT_PRETTYSCRNS
|
|
If enabled, a blinking-star screensaver is used.
|
|
If disabled, the screen
|
|
is simply blanked
|
|
(which might be useful for energy-saving monitors).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Default: on
|
|
.It Em PCVT_CTRL_ALT_DEL
|
|
If enabled, the key combination
|
|
.Aq Em Ctrl
|
|
.Aq Em Alt
|
|
.Aq Em Del
|
|
invokes a CPU reset.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Default: off
|
|
.It Em PCVT_USEKBDSEC
|
|
Do NOT override a security lock for the keyboard.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Default: on
|
|
.It Em PCVT_24LINESDEF
|
|
If enabled, the 25-line modi
|
|
(VT emulation with 25 lines, and HP emulation with 28 lines)
|
|
default to 24 lines only to provide a better compatibility to the
|
|
original DEV VT220 (TM). Thus it should be possible to use the
|
|
terminal information for those terminals without further changes.
|
|
Note that this is a startup option; it is possible to toggle between
|
|
the 24- and 25-lines' display by the
|
|
.Xr scon 1
|
|
utility.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Default: off
|
|
.It Em PCVT_META_ESC
|
|
If enabled, a sequence composed of
|
|
.Aq Em esc ,
|
|
followed by the normal key code is emitted if a key is pressed with the
|
|
.Aq Em Alt
|
|
key modifier.
|
|
If disabled, then normal key code with the value
|
|
.Em 0x80
|
|
added is sent.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Default: off
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that there are further options available which are mainly used for
|
|
debugging purposes or as a workaround for hardware problems.
|
|
They are found in
|
|
.Pa i386/isa/pcvt/pcvt_conf.h
|
|
along with their documentation.
|
|
.Ss Internal Functions
|
|
The functionality described below may be accessed via
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
system calls with a file descriptor opened on a device node
|
|
related to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver.
|
|
To make use of them, a program should contain the following line:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl #include <machine/pcvt_ioctl.h>
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Any parameter definitions cited below can be found in that file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em Keyboard related functions
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Three functions are related to basic keyboard hardware:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20n -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It KBDRESET
|
|
reset keyboard, set defaults;
|

.It KBDGTPMAT
|
|
get current typematic value, parameter is a pointer to int where
|
|
the values is stored to;
|
|
.It KBDSTPMAT
|
|
set current typematic value, similar to above command.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Symbolic values are available for the appropriate constants.
|
|
To specify the initial typematic delay time, they are
|
|
KBD_TPD250 for 250 ms through
|
|
KBD_TPD1000 for 1000 ms, in steps of 250 ms.
|
|
The typematic repeat
|
|
rates are
|
|
KBD_TPM300, specifying 30.0 characters per second through
|
|
KBD_TPM20 for 2.0 characters per second.
|
|
The intermediate values
|
|
are: 30.0, 26.7, 24.0, 21.8, 20.0, 18.5, 17.1, 16.0, 15.0, 13.3,
|

|
|
the drivers idea of lock key state.

|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The int where the argument points to
|
|
may have the values
|
|
KBD_SCROLLLOCK, KBD_NUMLOCK, KBD_CAPSLOCK, which may be used in any

.Pp
|
|
should be used in a same manner to get/set the drivers internal
|
|
LED flags.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em Keyboard remapping
|
|
.Pp
|
|
One important feature of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver is its ability to overload the built in key definition.
|

.It KBDGCKEY
|
|
get current key values,

.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20n -offset indent -compact

EGA and VGA video adaptors provide the capability of downloadable
|
|
software fonts.
|
|
Since the
|
|
.Sq native character set
|
|
of any IBM-compatible PC video board does not allow the full interpretation
|
|
of DEC multinational character set or ISO Latin-1
|

(ISO 8859-1),

The field

takes the values

CH_SET0, CH_SET1, CH_SET2, CH_SET3 on EGA's or VGA's. Since VGA's

CH_SET4, CH_SET5, CH_SET6, or CH_SET7, too.

.Em VGA color palette interface
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Only on VGA adaptors, there's a color palette register at the output.
|
|
It is responsible for the red, green and blue output voltage provided
|
|
for each of the 256 internal color codes, each lying in the range of
|
|
0 through 63 (with 63 representing the brightest value for a base color).
|
|
Thus, these adaptors map each color code to a color of a
|
|
.Dq palette
|
|
out of 262144 colors.
|
|
The commands
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20n -offset indent -compact
|

|
|

.Em Screen saver

driver, their might be a simple screen saver available.

.Nm

supports a subset of the USL-style commands used to control

the virtual terminal interface.

This feature is mainly intended to allow

.Em XFree86
|
|
to switch between virtual screens even when
|
|
running an X server.

They are ugly with respect to the implied semantics
|

(i.e., they break Berkeley semantics).

|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver has been developed for and contributed to
|
|
.Bx 386 0.1 .
|
|
Since then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
has become a standard part of
|
|
.Fx ,
|
|
.Nx
|
|
and
|
|
.Ox .
|
|
Since
|
|
.Fx 5.0 ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is
|
|
.Fx
|
|
specific with support for
|
|
.Nx
|
|
and
|
|
.Ox
|
|
removed to
|
|
ease further maintenance.
