Kernel driver sends raw scancodes, compositor or terminal handle the
rest. Support for F* keys will be added soon, in the mean time userspace
applications can know about the status of modifiers (control, shift,
alt, and super).
Compositor actions have been changed to Alt+Left Click for move and
Alt+Middle Click for resize. I'll work on adding more mouse events once
I get them to be faster (they're annoyingly slow at the moment... I want
more accuracy and less latency).
Also add functionality to the terminal to toggle it on and off.
There's a small, but nice-to-have performance increase from disabling
alpha transparency in the terminal.
Also, the display server sets DISPLAY=... to the shmem endpoint for the
compositor, so if getenv("DISPLAY") returns a pointer, you can assume
you are in a graphical environment, instead of having to rely on things
like arguments. Good for those applications that want to be able to run
both full-screen and windowed.
* Patched crt0 to support a pre_main
* pre_main sets up environment variables, can do other things later,
but then just jumps to main with the same arguments.
* Updated a bunch of apps to pass environment variables around.
- libc functions not implemented yet
- see `env` for an example of reading variables
- see `esh` for an example of how to set and maintain variables for
sending to other applications
Both of the above will be the basis for the libc implementation.
* Works with different block sizes
* Works with different inode sizes
* Tested on a real EXT2 file system made with mkfs.ext2
* MBR reading is available
* You can specify a partition with hdd=0 or hdd=1 etc.
* If you make a "real" disk image, you can get GRUB installed in
its MBR, toss in a suitable config file, and boot right off the
disk rather than having to use QEMU to boot the kernel or using
some silly CDROM ramdisk nonsense.
