# 199243 13-Nov-2009 ed

Switch the default terminal emulation style to xterm for most platforms.

Right now syscons(4) uses a cons25-style terminal emulator. The
disadvantages of that are:

- Little compatibility with embedded devices with serial interfaces.
- Bad bandwidth efficiency, mainly because of the lack of scrolling
regions.
- A very hard transition path to support for modern character sets like
UTF-8.

Our terminal emulation library, libteken, has been supporting
xterm-style terminal emulation for months, so flip the switch and make
everyone use an xterm-style console driver.

I still have to enable this on i386. Right now pc98 and i386 share the
same /etc/ttys file. I'm not going to switch pc98, because it uses its
own Kanji-capable cons25 emulator.

IMPORTANT: What to do if things go wrong (i.e. graphical artifacts):

- Run the application inside script(1), try to reduce the problem and
send me the log file.
- In the mean time, you can run `vidcontrol -T cons25' and `export
TERM=cons25' so you can run applications the same way you did before.
You can also build your kernel with `options TEKEN_CONS25' to make all
virtual terminals use the cons25 emulator by default.

# 170087 29-May-2007 dougb

Remove X11R6 from the default PATH to join the new world order.

While I'm here, make the default PATH match that in the csh profile,
and login.conf.


# 50472 27-Aug-1999 peter

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 46139 28-Apr-1999 jkh

By popular request, add /usr/local/sbin to this list.


# 46114 27-Apr-1999 jkh

1. Remove the hateful EDITOR=ee from root's environment; it's one
thing to use it at startup, when you don't know if the user can
handle vi or not, but yet another thing to leave it as a permanent
land mine for root.

2. Put /usr/X11R6/bin in path; it makes getting the desktop up a lot easier.


# 38678 31-Aug-1998 jkoshy

Move setting of 'crt' mail variable to {/usr/src}/etc/mail.rc.

PR: 7613
Submitted by: axl@iafrica.com
change default setting of the crt env var from 24 to blank (mail(1) then uses
stty(1) setting


# 29870 26-Sep-1997 joerg

Set `crt' by default to make mail(1) happy.
Also, comment out the not so very commonly used interviews settings.


# 24598 03-Apr-1997 brian

Make the default VERASE key the <-- key and remove root's
`stty's. 'nuff said.

Don't clobber the TERM variable if it's already set (e.g. from /etc/ttys,
or from a telnet session). So basically, this setting will only get in
effect in the single-user shell.

Closes PR # 2395.


# 23037 23-Feb-1997 peter

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.


# 14397 06-Mar-1996 jkh

Add back the stty commands I nuked - bad idea, sorry.


# 12559 01-Dec-1995 jkh

Rip these things down to the absolutely minimums - no tsets, no
sttys, no fancy prompts, nothing. Everything else seems to be
too contraversal, so we'll go vanilla.


# 3923 27-Oct-1994 phk

Fix a bunch of annoying details here, while I remember it.


# 2976 22-Sep-1994 rgrimes

Root should NEVER have . in the path.


# 2821 16-Sep-1994 rgrimes

Eliminate use of raw control characters in stty commands, make echo's and
stty commands self consistent.

Submitted by: bde


# 1742 15-Jun-1994 jkh

Since we're using syscons now, make ^H the backspace character by
default (ack ack, evil evil, but easier than changing syscons at this
late hour).


# 1193 21-Feb-1994 rgrimes

Add $Id$'s


# 1192 21-Feb-1994 rgrimes

Add a TERM=pc3 so that an initial system install is at least usable
at the console!


# 363 31-Aug-1993 rgrimes

Updated paths and cdpath to be more appropriate to FreeBSD (removal of old
directories).

Junked all the sccs aliases that get in the way of rcs


# 38 20-Jun-1993 rgrimes

This commit was generated by cvs2svn to compensate for changes in r37,
which included commits to RCS files with non-trunk default branches.


# 37 20-Jun-1993 rgrimes

Initial import of 386BSD 0.1 othersrc/etc
