keyboard.
- Translate some keycode for the 84 keyboard so that the 84 keyboard
and the 101 keyboard become more compatible in terms of keycodes.
- Updated the built-in keymaps so that it is in line with the recent
changes in share/syscons/keymaps.
- Added some comment on the Pause/Break key on the 101 keyboard.

The VESA support code requires vm86 support. Make sure your kernel
configuration file has the following line.

If you want to statically link the VESA support code to the kernel,
add the following option to the kernel configuration file.
options "VESA"
The vidcontrol command now accepts the following video mode names:
VESA_132x25, VESA_132x43, VESA_132x50, VESA_132x60, VESA_800x600
The VESA_800x600 mode is a raster display mode. The 80x25 text will
be displayed on the 800x600 screen. Useful for some laptop computers.
vidcontrol accepts the new `-i <info>' option, where <info> must be
either `adapter' or `mode'. When the `-i adapter' option is given,
vidcontrol will print basic information (not much) on the video
adapter. When the `-i mode' option is specified, vidcontrol will
list video modes which are actually supported by the video adapter.

With a keymap with accent key definitions loaded to syscons, you press
an accent key followed by a regular letter key to produce an accented
letter. Press an accent key followed by the space bar to get the
accent letter itself.
Code is based on the ideas and work by jmrueda@diatel.upm.es and
totii@est.is.
PR: i386/4016
console.h
- Defined structures and constants for accent (dead) keys.
syscons.c, kbdtables.h
- When an accent key is pressed, set the corresponding index to
`accents'. If the next key is the space key, produce the accent char
itself. Otherwise search the accent key map entry, indexed by
`accents', for a matching pair of a regular char and an accented char.
- Added ioctl functions to set and get the accent key map (PIO_DEADKEYMAP
and GIO_DEADKEYMAP).
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

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.
Display update method changed, now allways write in memory buffer,
then periodically update physical display.
Speed improvements (now > 5 times faster than the old syscons).
History now circular buffer, with changeable size.
History scroll by up/down line, up/down page, home and end.
Backtab proberly implemented.
Now space for 96 function keys, 63 allocated standard, default now
SCO/SYSV compat again as in the old days.
New keyboard definition files ~share/syscons/keymaps/*
Misc fixes for old "hacks" that broke SCO/SYSV compat.
More that I forgot before writing this...
Subject: syscons-1.3
Date: Sat, 29 Jan 94 23:33:50 MET
But here is the (hopefully) final syscons-1.3....
....
I've changed sgetc so it works as the pccons parallel
(it now uses a scgetc internally).
[
There were a couple changes that Bruce Evans sent me that were applied
to this version along with some changes that S'ren didn't incorporate
into the final version. There will be only minor changes if anything
from this version to his final release.

>Subject: Bad bug in kbdtables.h [FreeBSD]
I found a bug in /sys/i386/isa/kbdtables.h which contain the
different keyboard layouts for syscons. This regards all tables exept
the Danish and US. When compiling the kernel with any other keymapping
than Danish or none at all (US), you get an error that 'key_map' is undefined.
This is because there is a typo in the name of the struct containing
the tables, keymap intead of key_map.
