Subject: allscreens_flags for kbdcontrol (patch)
Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 21:47:31 -0700
From: Dima Dorfman <dima@unixfreak.org>
Message-Id: <20010425044731.B0D7A3E2A@bazooka.unixfreak.org>
Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG

The attached patch adds an rc.conf option, allscreenskbd_flags, which
does the same thing as allscreens_flags except it runs kbdcontrol
instead of vidcontrol.  I'm not really sure why these programs were
separated, but that's another story.  This patch allows one to stick
'allscreenskbd_flags="-h 200"' in rc.conf and automatically have the
scrollback buffer size set to 200 lines for all the virtual terminals.

Comments?

Thanks,
