Hi,
Good News everyone!
FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT default console isn't a cons25 emulation anymore
but a xterm emulation one.
Fragment from the UPDATING file:
20091113:
The default terminal emulation for syscons(4) has been changed
from cons25 to xterm on all platforms except pc98. This means
that the /etc/ttys file needs to be updated to ensure correct
operation of applications on the console.
The terminal emulation style can be toggled per window by using
vidcontrol(1)'s -T flag. The TEKEN_CONS25 kernel configuration
options can be used to change the compile-time default back to
cons25.
To prevent graphical artifacts, make sure the TERM environment
variable is set to match the terminal emulation that is being
performed by syscons(4).
And the default /etc/ttys file have indeed been updated accordingly:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/etc.i386/ttys#rev1.19
I tested tmux with the same operations in the September 7 snapshot and
it works a lot better: tree and cmatrix stay horizontal, we can clear
the screen, and sl moves without artifact at left.
What about the horizontal line position bug? It seems to be a conflict
between tmux and the regular console output, so the solution is to run
tmux in another tty than the first.
This tmux compatibility with the next FreeBSD versions consoles is a
consequence of the work of Ed Schouten and its Newcons project. To
quote Sam Gamgee, “Lor' bless him”. http://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons
