Subject: '@' In blank space on Bochs.
Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 06:13:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <005e01c20712$aa075c10$6407070a@blue> (raw)
ELKS apparently writes out blank areas of the screen with 0's
(arch/i86/drivers/char/dircon.c, #define A_BLANK 0x00). This creates an
issue with Bochs because, for some reason, Bochs has '@' there instead of
null (as it happens, MINIX runs into the same problem). This may be specific
to the Windows version of Bochs, as I've yet to use either MINIX or ELKS in
Bochs in any other host OS.
Once I get my laptop back (grumble, stupid hdd) I can recompile ELKS to use
0x32 (ASCII's "space" character) instead of 0x00 on my personal systems, but
I thought others might be interested in this.
Maybe a config option? CONFIG_BLANK_BOCHS?
