I was advised that the above links might not be the best way to present the patches for review, so here are them as a single diff file: http://people.freebsd.org/~avg/cngrab.diff > P.S. one of the benefits is that a keyboard is put into and out of the polling > mode before getting all the required input and after that; not around each > character as it is done now in rather twisted way. > -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
