Re: VS 4k VLC keyboard problem

Hello,

> Hm, it should work the same way as the smg stuff does.  I don't have
> a diff handy but it should be like:

I added a similar chunk of code SMG uses in conf.c, substituting smg
with lcg in declarations. I also added needs-flag to conf/files.vax for
lcg so that lcg.h is generated containing #define NLCG 1. I have
verified that i have lcgcnprobe() function in place and it's there,
similar to that of lcspx or smg. In theory it should all work now i
suppose but in reality it doesn't.

How can i verify whether lcgcnprobe has been called at all (without
using global variable to be set in lcgcnprobe and its contents printed
out afterwards, when DZ console is already working ... this woudl be
sooo kludgy) ?

Um, i don't seem to have the latter. Neither does smg.c for that matter.
Are you referring to *_match() function by any chance here ?

Anyway, seeing Michaels comment the other day (about DZ ports used for
LK keyboard, depending on position of S3 switch) i was thinking changing
where lkkbd is attached might solve the problem. Can anybody confirm

  If you just want to know if it's called, I don't know how else you could
tell.  When lcgscnprobe() is called, it it either going to exit
immediately if the console is on the serial port, or else it is going to
to set up access to the framebuffer and registers and set the console
device to use wsdisplay.  (The dzcnprobe() does a similar thing, only
setting the console device to be the serial line for the diagnostic
console).

  Your lcg.c has a bug in lcgcnprobe() - it's checking the wrong bit in
vax_confdata;  it's 0x100 on the 4000/VLC and 4000/60, not 0x8 (that's for
the 4000/90).

  Also, the lcg stuff is already present in the -current files.vax, along
with the needs-flag.

LCG & 4k m60/VLC keyboard issues

Hello,

Or i should say woohoo, thanks to Michael Hitch i can now use glass tty
on my VS 4k/60 :-) Just in case if you missed the point of his post to
the mailing list (like i did), the key to getting keybaord to work is to
add 

pseudo-device	wsmux

line to your kernel config file, along with end-of-line character (Asi
learned the hard way ... stupid config). 

Anyway, with this working i suppose it's time to clear the bugs now - i
noticed virtual console switching doesn't work as expected (ALT+Fn
produces a beep of unusual pitch while CTRLK+ALT+Fn produces a beep of
standard pitch, enither changes the virtual console as it should, if my
understanding is correct). Another problem is software cursor - if you
move it rapidly across the screen (say by holding down backspace key and
deleting text you typed before) it will leave a trace of cursor line
charcters, depending on whether it was about to get cleared or not
before it got moved. One way of resolving the latter problem seems to be
keeping a track of cursor position and erasing pixels when artifact
would remain on screen otherwise (kludgy) or using hardware cursor,
simply enabling/disabling rendering of hardware cursor bitmap in the
softwasre cursor routine - this seems to be the better way and that's
how 'd like to do it.

All of you (that'd be what, all two of you ?) who tested out lcg.c on
your model 60 / VLC before please add the abovementioned line to your
kernel config file and try to play with LCG console code further. Note

  Changing S3 also appears to require a power cycle (at least on my VLC)
to take effect for the ROM console.  The change is reflected in the config
register, but apparentlly the ROM only checks that on power up.

  Try entering the Do key followed by F[12345678].

You have "wscons=YES" in your /etc/rc.conf and enabled gettys on the
wscons ttys in /etc/ttys?

3100-80 and 3100-90 are supported, so most likely: Yes.
Maybe you need to run -current. Look at
