[Steps which have already been performed have been removed to avoid confusion.

|
|
|
|
(5) you have the choice of two keyboard layouts regarding the placement of
|
|
the vt220 function keys and the HELP and DO keys.
|
|
|
|
both configurations are documented in the files Keyboard.HP and Keyboard.VT
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
decide which one to use and set the "#define" of PCVT_VT220KEYB to
|
|
compile the one you choosed. (see also pcvt_hdr.h and pcvt_kbd.c)
|
|
|
|
(6) there are several other configuration "#define"-able options located at
|
|
the beginning of pcvt_hdr.h. "user"-settable options all start with "PCVT_".
|
|
Please (!!!) read the comments for them in the header file !
|
|
|
|
(8) edit your kernel configuration file and comment the following line out
|
|
by placing a "#" in front of it:
|
|
|
|
device pc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint
|
|
|
|
add a new config-line just below it:
|
|
|
|
device vt0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint
|
|
|
|
the lines in my config file look like this:
|
|
|
|
#device pc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint
|
|
device vt0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint
|
|
|
|
you can use now either the pccons driver or the pcvt driver (or possibly
|
|
other console drivers too!) by simply un-commenting ONE of them.
|
|
|
|
YOU CANNOT USE/UNCOMMENT MORE THAN __ONE__ CONSOLE DRIVER !!!
|
|
|
|
(9) configure a new kernel using config(8).
|
|
|
|
(10) run "make depend" for the new kernel !!!!
|
|
|
|
(if you upgrade from a previous version of pcvt, or get unresolved
|
|
symbols during step 11, it may be necessary to run a "make clean"
|
|
prior to running "make depend" !!)
|
|
|
|
(11) compile the new kernel
|
|
|
|
(12) test the new kernel (i.e. on a floppy) and check whether it still works
|
|
with your keyboard and your videoboard.
|
|
|
|
if the kernel works, install it on your harddisk and reboot.
|
|
|
|
(13) change into the distribution subdirectory "Util".
|
|
Edit Makefile.inc to suit your needs, especially have a look at "MANDIR"
|
|
and "BINDIR". then execute "make". this makes all the utilities in their
|
|
directories. when you are satisfied with the results, execute "make
|
|
install". this installs all programs in all subdirs in "BINDIR" and all
|
|
manual pages in "MANDIR", all fonts in "FONTDIR" and the keycap database
|
|
in "CAPDIR".
|
|
|
|
change into the distribution subdirectory "Doc" and edit Makefile
|
|
to suit your needs. then execute "make" to prepare the manpage for
|
|
the driver.
|
|
|
|
(14) if necessary, edit /usr/share/misc/keycap to match your keyboard.
|
|
keycap uses special codes which are documented in Util/kcon/keycap.3
|
|
and Util/kcon/keycap.5. also have a look at Util/kcon/kcon.1.
|
|
|
|
(15) there are example termcap entries for the various screen resolutions
|
|
in the file "Doc/Termcap". integrate them into your termcap file if
|
|
you don't have a "normal" vt220 entry or want to use pcvt's extensions.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: pcvt works with an unmodified VT220 termcap entry !
|
|
(it was written to do that .... ;-)
|
|
|
|
(16) to use the virtual terminals, one must "mknod" this devices, they have
|
|
major number 12 and minor numbers 0 to n:
|
|
|
|
mknod /dev/ttyv0 c 12 0
|
|
mknod /dev/ttyv1 c 12 1
|
|
mknod /dev/ttyv2 c 12 2
|
|
mknod /dev/ttyv3 c 12 3
|
|
...
|
|
mknod /dev/ttyv<n> c 12 <n>
|
|
|
|
There is a shell-script available (Doc/MAKEDEV.pcvt) for this purpose.
|
|
|
|
ls -l in my /dev directory looks like this:
|
|
|
|
crw------- 1 root 0, 0 Nov 12 15:55 /dev/console
|
|
crw-rw---- 1 root 12, 0 Aug 12 21:13 /dev/ttyv0
|
|
crw------- 1 root 12, 1 Nov 12 14:11 /dev/ttyv1
|
|
crw------- 1 root 12, 2 Nov 12 14:11 /dev/ttyv2
|
|
crw------- 1 root 12, 3 Nov 12 14:11 /dev/ttyv3
|
|
|
|
(17) edit /etc/ttys to enable login on the virtual consoles, mine looks like
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty console" pcvt25h on secure
|
|
ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty console" pcvt25h on secure
|
|
ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty console" pcvt25h on secure
|
|
ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty console" pcvt25h on secure
|
|
|
|
|
|
(18) because the driver is (mostly) 8-bit clean, the entry to be used with it
|
|
in /etc/gettytab has to contain a ":np:" (no parity) entry, the "default"
|
|
entry has a ":ap:" (any parity), if you want to use this entry, you have
|
|
to change the ":ap:" to ":np:"!
|
|
my default entry looks like this:
|
|
|
|
default:\
|
|
:np:fd#1000:im=\r\n 386BSD (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#9600:
|
|
|
|
|
|
(19) edit /etc/rc.local to download fonts and establish emulation modes, mine
|
|
looks like the example provided in Doc/rc.local
|
|
|
|
|
|
good luck !
