kmscon (KMS/DRM based System Console)
|
||||
|
||||
kmscon is a system console for linux. It does not depend on any
|
||||
graphics-server on your system (like X.org), but instead provides a raw
|
||||
console layer that can be used independently. It can replace the linux
|
||||
kernel console entirely but was designed to work well side-by-side,
|
||||
too. Even though initially targeted at providing internationalization
|
||||
to the system-console, it has grown into a fully modularized console
|
||||
layer including features like multi-head support, internationalized
|
||||
font rendering, XKB-compatible keyboard handling, hardware-accelerated
|
||||
graphics access and more.
|
||||
|
||||
For Slackware-specific notes on kmscon, see README.Slackware.

|
|||
Using kmscon as a regular user
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
As shipped, kmscon only works for root. If you want to be able to run
|
||||
it as a normal user, you could make it setuid root (not recommended). A
|
||||
better solution:
|
||||
|
||||
setcap cap_sys_tty_config,cap_sys_admin=ep
|
||||
|
||||
See capabilities(7) and http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more info
|
||||
on capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
When running as a normal user, you probably also want to add "--login
|
||||
-- /bin/bash -i" on the kmscon command line (or the equivalent, in
|
||||
/etc/kmscon/kmscon.conf).
|
||||
|
||||
Using kmscon as a console replacement
|
||||
-------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
kmscon has much better support for fonts and Unicode/UTF-8 than the
|
||||
Linux framebuffer console. If you want to use kmscon for all your
|
||||
console logins, edit /etc/inittab and replace the /sbin/agetty lines
|
||||
(around line 50 on Slack 14.1) with:
|
||||
|
||||
c1:12345:respawn:/usr/bin/kmscon --vt /dev/tty1
|
||||
c2:12345:respawn:/usr/bin/kmscon --vt /dev/tty2
|
||||
c3:12345:respawn:/usr/bin/kmscon --vt /dev/tty3
|
||||
c4:12345:respawn:/usr/bin/kmscon --vt /dev/tty4
|
||||
c5:12345:respawn:/usr/bin/kmscon --vt /dev/tty5
|
||||
c6:12345:respawn:/usr/bin/kmscon --vt /dev/tty6
|
||||
|
||||
You might also want to edit /etc/kmscon/kmscon.conf and uncomment the
|
||||
line beginning with 'login=/sbin/agetty ...'.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're in the habit of logging in as root, you'll want to edit
|
||||
/etc/securetty and uncomment the lines for pts/0 through pts/7. This
|
||||
is only needed for actual root logins (su and sudo will work fine
|
||||
without it).
|
||||
|
||||
After making your edits, "init q" followed by "killall agetty" will fire
|
||||
up the new kmscon login prompts (alternatively, you can reboot).
|
||||
|
||||
There's no need to use setcap if you're running kmscon from /etc/inittab,
|
||||
since it will always run as root.
|
||||
|
||||
Misc
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
You'll almost certainly want to use a UTF-8 locale with kmscon. Normally
|
||||
this is set in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh (but you could also do it in your
|
||||
your ~/.bash_profile or such, if you like).
|
||||
|
||||
When using kmscon, you'll have to use ctrl-alt-F# to switch consoles. Also
|
||||
try ctrl-plus and ctrl-minus (for zooming).
|
||||
|
||||
You won't be able to run links in framebuffer mode (with "links -g
|
||||
-driver fb") from within a kmscon session.
|
||||
|
||||
startx will work normally from kmscon.
|
||||
|
||||
kmscon has *no* support for gpm, or the mouse in general. There's no way
|
||||
to select or paste text with the mouse, and no way to use the mouse in
|
||||
mouse-aware textmode applications like links.
|
||||
|
||||
svgalib applications are highly unlikely to work from within kmscon.
|
||||
|
||||
mplayer's framebuffer support (-vo fbdev or -vo fbdev2) doesn't work from
|
||||
within kmscon.
|
||||
|
||||
Japanese man pages render beautifully with kmscon. Install man-db and
|
||||
man-pages-ja, and set LANG="ja_JP.UTF-8" in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh.
