Arch Linux

- wireless is now fixed in git, thanks for reporting this.
- about your cursor issue, we don't use this in any file in arch.
Could you point me to some documentation where you got this? Thanks.

anything new about the cursor issue? if not I close this soon and please fill a new bugreport about the cursor issue.
Thanks

Dear Tobias, sorry, After I got the answer, i forget to paste the attachment.

I have a Dell 11z, when i boot into ramdisk (archboot), i find there is no cursor.
But after i run vim or zhcon (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=), i got the cursor.

then I use strace to find what vim/zhcon print to console..

At the end of strace-vim, something very strange:
write(1, "\33[?25h\33[?0c", 11) = 11
write(1, "\33[48;1H\33[K\33[48;1H", 17) = 17
exit_group(0)

After some test, i got "\33[?25h\33]?0c"...

Here is the documentation from kernel:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/VGA-softcursor.txt

But i dont know why i need to echo 25h....
from vga-softcursor.txt, we should only need "\33]?0c".

If you cannot reproduce it, then you can just ignore it.
On my fellow's computer, soft-cursor works well without any patch.

My Graphic Card: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
my fellow's card: a nvidia card. and i forget the exact model.

and to tobias, i have some other code to detect the usage of kms module.


if grep -E 'i915|nouveau|radeon|uvesafb' /proc/modules >/dev/null; then
return 0
fi
for fb in i915 nouveau radeon; do
for pci in $(/sbin/modinfo -F alias $fb | sed -e 's/\*/\.&/g'); do
if cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/modalias | grep -i $pci >/dev/null; then
msg ":: Switching to $fb kms mode..."
/sbin/modprobe $fb modeset=1
return 0
fi
done
done

hm.. so missspelling is corrected. what about cursor staff?
