Just to remind you that it's not the console _server_ which conflicts
with X, but the console _client_ using vga or a keyboard driver
Hi,
what about having the creation time of a file as an Hurd extension, which is
maintained across copies, like the author?
Thanks,

It seems far more useful than the author bits.

Why restricting meta data to a fixed set of attributes?

Why? Can't really see the point in preserving the creation time since
I seldom look at it, the modification time is far more interesting.
But then, I still don't see the j

In that case, why not add an extended attribute scheme ? So everyone can
add whatever metadata h

Hi,
this long patch is supposed to make hello.c correct and "robust"... it
includes the previously posted patch.
Notice that in storeio, trivfs_S_io_seek uses open_seek, which doesn't
check the offset sanity either; I'll take a look at it when I'll have
understood things a little more.

Well, Oskit provides lot's of drivers but also forces you to emulate

That would be cool for fatfs, because that makes it possible to use
the stored creation time fatfs already has.
And personally
Hi,
This patch adds support for non-80x25 resolutions to the ncursesw
driver. It also adds a generic interface to tell the display driver
which resolution to use. If that resolution is not available it uses
the next best resolution.
I made some changes to ncursesw so it uses a "pad", from the cur
