by first, thanks Linus for patch1...now I can get this-here-junk
VGA card into 80x50 mode...
But I've noticed a couple wierdnesses...
- when I first booted the pl1 kernel, I selected '0' fro
80x25 mode and everything hung totally. I waited
for a sync and hit TheBigGrayButton (:-))
- the next time up, I tried 80x50 and it looked fine.
- for grins, I went back to 80x25 via a reboot
(sync and hit-the-button) and it came up
ok, but eventually the consoles hung again totally,
requiring a sync and reboot
Is this a known problem in the 096c-pl1 kernel?
Also, I noticed very wierd things with the 096c consoles in vi
that didn't occur in 095a+ or various 096b versions...basically
the consoles get wierd to the point of cr/lf not doing the lf.
A stty sane fixes it temporarily, but eventually even the getty
window gets wierd.
It seemed that I could create this one at will by using 'more'
on a more-than-one-screen file.
Again, I'm at 096c mcc-interim...
