Subject:   allscreens_flags for kbdcontrol patch
Message-ID:  <20010427014522.266B63E2A@bazooka.unixfreak.org>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
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?  Reviews?  (Or I'll have to file a PR about it!)

Thanks in advance,
