at the moment.
This includes the addition of two new wsdisplay ioctls, WSDISPLAY_{G,S}BORDER,
one to get the actual color and one to set it, respectively. Possible colors
match those defined by ANSI (and listed in wsdisplayvar.h).
It also adds two accessops to the underlying graphics device, getborder and
setborder, which mach their ioctl counterparts.
Two kernel options are added: WSDISPLAY_CUSTOM_BORDER, which enables the
ioctls described above (to customize the border color from userland after
boot), and WSDISPLAY_BORDER_COLOR, which sets the color at boot time.
The former is enabled by default on the GENERIC kernel, but not on INSTALL
(among others). The later is always commented out, leaving the usual black
border as a default.
wsconsctl is modified to allow accessing this value easily. For example,
'wsconsctl -d -w border=blue'.
Two new ioctls are added to the wsdisplay device, named WSDISPLAY_GMSGATTRS
and WSDISPLAY_SMSGATTRS, used to retrieve the actual values and set them,
respectively (the name, if you are wondering, comes from "message attributes").
A new emulop is added to the underlying display driver (only vga, for now)
which sets the new attribute for the whole screen, without having to clear
it. This is optional, which means that this also works with other drivers
that don't have this new operation.
Five new kernel options have been added, although only documented in
i386 kernels (for now):
- WSDISPLAY_CUSTOM_OUTPUT, which enables the ioctls described above to
change the colors dynamically from userland. This is enabled by default
in the GENERIC kernel (as well as others) but disabled on all INSTALL*
kernels (as this feature is useless there).
- WS_DEFAULT_COLATTR, WS_DEFAULT_MONOATTR, WS_DEFAULT_BG and WS_DEFAULT_FG,
which specify the default colors for the console at boot time. These have
the same meaning as the (already existing) WS_KERNEL_* variables.
wsconsctl is modified to add msg.default.{attrs,bg,fg} and
msg.kernel.{attrs,bg,fg} to the display part, so that colors can be changed
after boot.
Tested on NetBSD/i386 with vga (and vga in mono mode), and on NetBSD/mac68k.
No objections in tech-kern@.
many bugs have been fixed).
Changes:
The wskbd, wsmouse, and wsmux are now "sub-classes" of wsevsrc, which is
a source of ws events. This make the structure of those drivers a little
more uniform.
Many bug fixes involving adding and removing devices from muxes.
When a kernel is configured without wsmux there will now be none (unlike
before where you got a console mux anyway).
The kernel now compiles with all combinations of ws devices present.
backlight, brightness and contrast.
- Add 9 command key symbols which make wskbd to call wsdisplay's
iocontrol.
- Add special key map variant KB_MACHDEP. This variant does not
have any real keymap but it's just a placeholder for machine dependent
maps which will be overwrite by machine dependent keyboard driver.
