Hmmmm... Strange thing is that I can't seem to reproduce this. Maybe the terminal emulator stayed stuck in insert mode? Maybe you can reproduce this for me by doing the following. Go to /sys/dev/syscons/teken and run `make'. This will create a binary called `teken_demo', which is a testing utility that simulates a terminal using exactly the same code as syscons. Just run this binary from an xterm (or at least a terminal we trust) and see if you can reproduce it there. A nice thing is that you can just restart the application, so we have a better picture of what triggered this behaviour. > BTW, it would be nice if xterm emulation support extension to display > 256 colors > > :AB=\E[48;5;%dm:\ > :AF=\E[38;5;%dm: > > at least up to first batch of 8 colors and ignoring rest. The reason why I didn't add support for 256 colors, is because it would require fundamental changes to all syscons drivers as well. I'll look in to it after I've committed this version. Thanks for testing the patch! -- Ed Schouten <e...@80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/
