Fixed pedantic semantics errors (in ANSI C, static arrays must have
a size, and static objects should be consistently declared as static
unless you know more than anyone should have to know about the
linkage rules).
select/poll and DEVFS changes, which are limited to an include/define
in sound.h and the actual select/poll implementation in sound.c
[ This commit is blind, but the code is similar enough that there will
hopefully be no problems. ]
The differences Terrys patch and this patch are:
* Remove a lot of un-needed comments.
* Don't put l_hotchar at the front of stuct linesw, there is no need to.
* Use the #defines for the hotchar in the SLIP and PPP line disciplines
this using option "-b" to the boot blocks. It is smartest to compile
a font into your kernel (See LINT), but not mandatory, but apart from
the cursor you will see nothing on the screen until you load a font.
This mode allows XF86_VGA16 to run in 800x600 mode on otherwise unsupported
graphics hardware.
A number of buglets in the cursor handling in syscons may become
visible this way.

- A kludge: initialize scp->xpixel and ypixel even in the text mode.
If the console enters the `unknown' graphics mode via the ioctl KDSETMODE
(KD_GRAPHICS), these fields are not set (because syscons cannot know
the correct values), but set_mouse_pos() need to refer to these field
to adjust the mouse position.
- Turn off MOUSE_VISIBLE when switching video mode by ioctl.
- another new option: SC_MOUSE_CHAR
Define the first character code of four consecutive codes to be used for
the mouse cursor. Default codes are 0xd0 through 0xd3. Beware that
if you decide to use any codes outside the range of 0xc0-0xdf,
the mouse cursor may not look good, because of the way VGA displays
characters in 9-dot-wide character cells.
Requested by several people.
(This patch was tested by a person who recently reported, in the -current
ML, a page fault problem in the kernel (draw_mouse_iamge()) after
X server shutdown. The patch cured his problem.)
Don't touch/update the screen while manipulating font data.

- Set up VGA in alphanumeric mode rather than graphics mode when
loading font into video memory. This will drastically reduce flicker.

- Set up scp->font_size properly during video mode switch caused by
ioctl.
separate routine: scupdate() called from scrn_timer().
- Make sure that the screen is updated for the low-level console
routines sccngetc() and sccncheckc(). A new routine, sccnupdate(),
is introduced and will call scupdate() above.

- Don't try to ring bell and immediately return from do_bell() while
device probe is in progress at boot time; the timeout queue is not
functional yet.

- A new option: SC_DISABLE_REBOOT
The reboot key (usually Ctl-Alt-Del) will be ignored if this option
is defined. You may still have the reboot key defined in the keymap and
it won't cause error when the keymap is loaded, but it will be quietly
treated as nop.
