Package: kbd
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
Console-setup needs some way to test whether we are on the console or
not (in order not to damage a running X). Because of Debconf this
should work when the program is detached from the actual virtual
terminal (so /usr/bin/tty doesn't work).
For FreeBSD I found the following solution in the net
(http://www.opennet.ru/tips/info/1448.shtml, in Russian language):
if vidcontrol -i adapter >&- 2>&-; then
echo We are on the console
else
echo We are not on the console.
fi
(Vidcontrol is the FreeBSD analogue of the setfont+fbset combination.)
Unfortunately I don't know if something similar can work for Linux but
Julien Cristau contributed the following code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/kd.h>
int main() {
int fd;
int rc;
int mode;
fd = open("/dev/tty0", O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0)
err(1, "open(/dev/tty0)");
rc = ioctl(fd, KDGETMODE, &mode);
if (rc < 0)
err(1, "ioctl(KDGETMODE)");
switch (mode) {
case KD_TEXT:
printf("text\n");
break;
case KD_GRAPHICS:
printf("graphics\n");
break;
default:
printf("other (%d)\n", mode);
break;
}
return 0;
}
Would it be possible to include something like this in kbd? I don't
like the idea to include a binary Linux-only utility in an architecture
independent package such as console-setup.
