Did anyone patch pccons.c to use 80x50 or 132x50 text mode? If not, will it
be enough to change #define's in pccons.c and set video mode in wdboot,
or are constants hard-coded somewhere else?
Also, how come Caps Lock doesn't work under XFree 1.3? I am using
pccons.c from standard NetBSD 0.8 distribution.
Please send me e-mail and I'll post a summary if I get any answers.
Thanks!
I already patched pccons.c to set higher keyboard
typematic rate. Here is a diff:
