.Ss Configuration
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm pcvt
|
|
console driver is currently available for the Intel-based BSD operating
|
|
systems
|
|
.Em 386BSD Pq release 0.1 with patchkits ,
|
|
.Em NetBSD Pq release 0.9 or higher, only i386 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Em FreeBSD Pq release 1.0-GAMMA or higher .
|
|
In order to get the appropriate system support, one of the options
|
|
.Em PCVT_386BSD ,
|
|
.Em PCVT_NETBSD ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Em PCVT_FREEBSD
|
|
must be defined in the system's config file
|
|
.Pq see Xr config 8 .
|
|
In addition, for the
|
|
.Em FreeBSD
|
|
and
|
|
.Em NetBSD
|
|
operating systems, it is necessary to set this option to the operating
|
|
system's version number.
|
|
For
|
|
.Em FreeBSD
|
|
this version number must be expressed as a 3-digit number.
|
|
E.\& g., if you are running the 1.0 release
|
|
.Pq which is actually version 1.0.2 ,
|
|
you should define
|
|
|
|
.Em PCVT_FREEBSD = 102
|
|
|
|
For
|
|
.Em NetBSD
|
|
this version number must be expressed as 9 if you are running NetBSD 0.9
|
|
and anything greater than 9 for NetBSD-current (pre 1.0). It is recommended
|
|
to use (as with FreeBSD) 100 for NetBSD 1.0 and 999 for NetBSD-current.
|
|
E.\& g., if you are running the NetBSD 0.9 release, you should define
|
|
|
|
.Em PCVT_NETBSD = 9
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm pcvt
|
|
driver has been designed to be highly configurable in order to satisfy
|
|
everyone's needs. The preferred way for those configurations is to
|
|
provide appropriate
|
|
.Em options
|
|
lines within the config file, possibly overriding the built-in default
|
|
values. Therefore it is possible to compile several distinct kernels
|
|
with different driver behaviour on a single machine.
|
|
|
|
The following list gives a short overview of the available configuration
|
|
options. Refer to the file
|
|
.Pa i386/isa/pcvt/pcvt_hdr.h
|
|
in the kernel source tree for detailed documentation.
|
|
|
|
Note: the following conventions apply to all the Boolean options.
|
|
If an option is given with no value, a value of 1
|
|
.Pq activated
|
|
is substituted. If an option value is given as 0, this options is
|
|
deactivated. Any other value is substituted by 1, too. If an option
|
|
is omitted, a built-in default is assumed.
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
|
|
|
|
.It Em PCVT_NSCREENS
|
|
Defines the number of virtual screens.
|
|
.br
|
|
Default: 8
|
|
|
|
.It Em PCVT_VT220KEYB
|
|
If activated, a keyboard layout resembling a DEC VT200 (TM) is generated.
|
|
If deactivated, a mixture between VT220 and HP is used. See the files
|
|
.Pa Keyboard.VT
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa Keyboard.HP
|
|
in the
|
|
.Nm pcvt

|
Enables the builtin screensaver featuer.
|
|
.br
|
|
Default: on
|
|
|
|
.It Em PCVT_PRETTYSCRNS
|
|
If enabled, a blinking-star screensaver is used. If disabled, the screen
|
|
is simply blanked
|
|
.Pq which might be useful for energy-saving monitors .
|
|
.br
|
|
Default: on
|
|
|
|
.It Em PCVT_CTRL_ALT_DEL
|
|
If enabled, the key combination
|
|
.Aq Em Ctrl
|
|
.Aq Em Alt
|
|
.Aq Em Del
|
|
invokes a CPU reset.
|
|
.br
|

If enabled, the 25-line modi
|
|
.Po
|
|
VT emulation with 25 lines, and HP emulation with 28 lines
|
|
.Pc
|
|
default to 24 lines only to provide a better compatibility to the
|
|
original DEV VT220 (TM). Thus it should be possible to use the
|
|
terminal information for those terminals without further changes.
|
|
Note that this is a startup option; it is possible to toggle between
|
|
the 24- and 25-lines' display by the
|
|
.Xr scon 1
|
|
utility.
|
|
.br
|
|
Default: off
|
|
|
|
.It Em PCVT_EMU_MOUSE
|
|
Emulate a three-button mouse via the keypad. Useful for notebooks when
|
|
running XFree86. See
|
|
.Sx Mouse emulation

|
.br
|
|
Default: off
|
|
|
|
.It Em PCVT_META_ESC
|
|
If enabled, a sequence composed of
|
|
.Aq Em esc ,
|
|
followed by the normal key code is emitted if a key is pressed with the
|
|
.Aq Em Alt
|
|
key modifier. If disabled, then normal key code with the value
|
|
.Em 0x80
|
|
added is sent.
|
|
.br
|
|
Default: off
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
Note that there are further options available which are mainly used for
|
|
debugging purposes or as a workaround for hardware problems. They are
|
|
found in
|
|
.Pa i386/isa/pcvt/pcvt_hdr.h
|
|
along with their documentation.
|
|
|
|
.Ss Internal Functions
|
|
The functionality described below may be accessed via
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
system calls with a file descriptor opened on a device node
|
|
related to the
|
|
.Nm pcvt
|
|
driver.
|
|
To make use of them, a program should contain the following line:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Dl #include <machine/pcvt_ioctl.h>
|
|
|
|
Any parameter definitions cited below can be found in that file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Em Keyboard related functions
|
|
|
|
Three functions are related to basic keyboard hardware:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20n -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It KBDRESET
|
|
reset keyboard, set defaults;
|
|
.It KBDGTPMAT
|
|
get current typematic value, parameter is a pointer to int where
|
|
the values is stored to;
|
|
.It KBDSTPMAT
|
|
set current typematic value, similiar to above command.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
Symbolic values are available for the appropriate constants.
|
|
To specify the initial typematic delay time, they are
|
|
KBD_TPD250 for 250 ms through
|
|
KBD_TPD1000 for 1000 ms, in steps of 250 ms. The typematic repeat
|
|
rates are
|
|
KBD_TPM300, specifying 30.0 characters per second through
|
|
KBD_TPM20 for 2.0 characters per second. The intermediate values
|
|
are: 30.0, 26.7, 24.0, 21.8, 20.0, 18.5, 17.1, 16.0, 15.0, 13.3,
|
|
12.0, 10.9, 10.0, 9.2, 8.6, 8.0, 7.5, 6.7, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0, 4.6, 4.3,
|
|
4.0, 3.7, 3.3, 3.0, 2.7, 2.5, 2.3, 2.1, 2.0 characters per second.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20n -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It KBDGREPSW
|
|
get key repetition switch, and
|
|
.It KBDSREPSW
|
|
set key repetition switch
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
again take a pointer to int as argument. They manipulate the
|
|
driver's internal keyboard repetition flag, possible values are:
|
|
KBD_REPEATOFF or KBD_REPEATON.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20n -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It KBDGLEDS
|
|
get LED state, and
|
|
.It KBDSLEDS
|
|
set LED state manipulate the keyboard indicators, but do not influence
|
|
the driver's idea of lock key state.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
The int where the argument points to
|
|
may have the values
|
|
KBD_SCROLLLOCK, KBD_NUMLOCK, KBD_CAPSLOCK, which may be used in any
|
|
conjunction.
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20n -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It KBDGLOCK
|
|
gets state of SCROLL,NUM,CAPS, and
|
|
.It KBDSLOCK
|
|
sets state of SCROLL,NUM,CAPS + LEDs
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
should be used in a same manner to get/set the driver's internal
|
|
LED flags.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Em Keyboard remapping
|
|
|
|
One important feature of the
|
|
.Nm pcvt
|
|
driver is its ability to overload the built in key definition.
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20n -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It KBDGCKEY
|
|
get current key values,
|

set new key assignment values, and
|
|
.It KBDGOKEY
|
|
get original key assignment values
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
arrange those functions. The take a pointer to a
|
|
.Em struct kbd_ovlkey
|
|
as argument as described below. In addition,
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20n -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It KBDRMKEY
|
|
removes a key assignment, taking a pointer to an int as argument which
|
|
contains the affected key number;
|
|
.It KBDDEFAULT
|
|
removes all key assignments.
|
|
.El

.Em Mouse emulation
|
|
|
|
The mouse emulator
|
|
.Pq if configured in
|
|
fakes a three-button mouse using the Mouse Systems protocol. The first
|
|
.Nm pcvt
|
|
device node not used by a virtual screen is the mouse device. I.\& e.,
|
|
for the default value of 8 virtual screens,
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyv0
|
|
through
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyv7
|
|
would refer to the virtual screens, and
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyv8
|
|
were the mouse emulator device. The mouse emulation is turned on by
|
|
pressing the
|
|
.Aq Em NumLock
|
|
key. The pointer is moved by the numerical keypad keys, into the
|
|
obvious directions. The pointer is initially moved in single steps,
|
|
and is accelerated after an adjustable time
|
|
.Pq default: 500 ms
|
|
by about 6 times. The mouse buttons are emulated by three normal
|
|
keys, by default the function keys
|
|
.Aq Em \&F1 ,
|
|
.Aq Em \&F2 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Aq Em \&F3 .
|
|
There are two selectable flavours available: normal and
|
|
.Dq sticky
|
|
buttons. Normal buttons behave as expected.
|
|
.Dq Sticky
|
|
buttons are notified as button-press on the first keypress. They
|
|
.Dq stick
|
|
until the key is pressed again
|
|
.Pq or another button-emulating key instead .
|
|
Button presses and releases are notified to the user by a simple
|
|
.Dq pling ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq plong ,
|
|
respectively, generated from the PC's built-in speaker.
|
|
|
|
The following commands control the emulation.
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20n -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It KBDMOUSEGET
|
|
get the current definitions, and
|
|
.It KBDMOUSESET
|
|
set new definitions.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
Both accept a
|
|
.Li struct mousedefs *
|
|
as the third argument to the ioctl call:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct mousedefs {
|
|
int leftbutton; /* (PC) scan code for "left button" key */
|
|
int middlebutton; /* (PC) scan code for "mid button" key */
|
|
int rightbutton; /* (PC) scan code for "right button" key */
