Package: hurd Version: unavailable; reported 2003-03-19 Severity: wishlist the VT_* ioctls for manipulating virtual terminals, defined in <sys/vt.h> for GNU/Linux, are not implemented on GNU/Hurd.
for a description on what these should do, see the GNU/Linux Console Programming HOWTO: http://www.ibiblio.org/gferg/ldp/Console-Programming-HOWTO/x47.html they are expected to act on /dev/tty and /dev/tty?, so /hurd/magic and /hurd/term should be capable of recieving them. VT_ACTIVATE is particularly important, as it's needed by Xfree86. (note ioctl (open ("/dev/tty", flags), VT_ACTIVATE, N); should change the display to the virtual console #N.) of course, this only makes sense in the context of a configured console server: http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2002/debian-hurd-200209/msg00054.html -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux aragorn 2.2.22 #1 dl nov 25 21:59:43 CET 2002 i586 Locale: LANG=ca_ES.ISO-8859-1, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ignored: LC_ALL set) _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
