At least, that is, if your kernel is more recent than 2019 or so (I forget the precise release). If it's older then a large screen will be rendered incorrectly but you'll still be able to fix that by adding the LargeScreenBug=yes screen driver option. This fixes the ability to read a large screen, but it doesn't yet deal with knowing exactly where the cursor is when it's beyond the 256th column or line. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://mielke.cc/xmother.html (Letter from a Feminist ex-Mother) _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
