With the new kbd stuff, the kernels on sources need to
be recompiled. If you run the new programs with the old
kernels, you just get the question-in-a-box glyph whenever
you hit the down arrow.
Thanks,
Micah

not the kernels but programs like rio, acme and vncv. the problem comes from
a change in /sys/include/keyboard.h which changed down arrow to send
something else, instead of 0x80...
they were recompiled on sources two days ago

That's the point. Rio, acme, etc. were recompiled to
expect the new rune (0xf800, I think). But the kernels
in /386 are still sending 0x80. When I rebuilt 9pcf from
source and rebooted with it, all was well again.

If there was a need to change drawterm, there is a need to recompile
kernels for those who use plan9 terminals.

i have been doing a fair amount of vlong support for 8c.
it's all table driven and fraught with peril.
it compiles itself to a fixed point and passed all the torture
tests i thru at it. jmk did some testing and found a nasty,
which is fixed, and now he reports that the kernel runs
just fine.
i'd like bashers - break it please and you get a beer.
should i post a URL now or is it better for me to find
some more bugs (and write some more tables) and post
it next week?
humbly and stumbly,
brucee
