next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
This is to announce the final beta test cycle for pcvt 3.20, beta 21.
Pcvt is a video/keyboard driver for i386-based NetBSD (0.9, 1.0 and -current)
and for FreeBSD (1.0, 1.1R, 1.1.5.1R and 2.0).
Pcvt has almost full VT220 compatibility, supports national keyboard remapping,
24/25/28/40/50 lines and 80/132 columns and a configurable number of virtual
screens for character terminal and X11 sessions. It comes with a complete set
of fonts, utilities and documentation for easy integration into the above
mentioned systems.
Beta 21 is the release candiate and i will only accept bugfix patches for it.
Things done since beta 16:
bugfixes for
- keyboard handling
- virtual screen switching
- MDA/HCG and EGA support
Please have a look at Doc/ChangeLog for details. The bugfix for the virtual
screen switching made it necessary to issue another beta cycle but hopefully
made screen switching and writing to non-current displayed screens and
X server screens much more robust.
Things to do:
fix bug for FreeBSD pre-2.1 causing a kernel panic in the boot phase.
