svgalib 1.4.3_5 graphics =227

A low level console graphics library
Maintained by: danfe@FreeBSD.org

This is a low level console graphics library, originally based on VGAlib 1.2 by
Tommy Frandsen.  VGAlib supported a number of standard VGA graphics modes, as
well as high resolution/high color modes on many popular graphics adapters.  As
of now, support for many more chipsets had been added.

It supports transparent virtual console switching, that is, you can switch
consoles to and from text and graphics mode consoles using Alt-[function key].
Also, SVGAlib corrects most of VGAlib's textmode corruption behavior by
catching SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGILL, and other fatal signals and ensuring that a
program is running in the currently visible virtual console before setting a
graphics mode.

Fix the build with upcoming GCC 4.1.

Add some more SHA256 sums to my ports.

bsd.port.pre.mk/bsd.port.post.mk are still needed for correct MANx
assigments.

Update my email address to `@FreeBSD.org'.
Relinquish ports I happen to no longer use.  They seem to be of the latest
versions, and non-broken, so this is a "clean" dump.

(bump port-revision, my mistake)

[patch] graphics/svgalib checks wrong virtual console for ownership

        graphics/svgalib contains an off-by-one error in the code
        that checks that the user is the owner of the current virtual
        terminal.  Instead of checking /dev/ttyv[X], it checks
        /dev/ttyv[X+1].

        This happens because svgalib was written for Linnex, and
        they start tty numbering from 1, contrary to FreeBSD, which
        does it from 0.  I always knew that FreeBSD is better: who
        counts from 1 in this world?! ;-)

graphics/svgalib itself calls ldconfig.
Later on the ports makefile does it again.
the ports Makefile does it and should not
the Makefile in the tarball.

Let be hohest: I really don't have a time now to properly maintain all
these great pieces of software, so that let others with more free time
to take over them.

Remove unnecessary ## which caused the build to fail with gcc 3.3.

Fix typo: ONLY_FOR_ARCH -> ONLY_FOR_ARCHS.

Fix damage done by replacing PERL into REINPLACE_CMD.
Noticed on: bento

PERL -> REINPLACE
And some ports have USE_PERL5=yes now.

Mark as a ONLY_FOR_ARCH=i386.

Prompted by:    kris

Fix a breakage caused by changed chown semantics.    

Convert category graphics to new layout.  

Fixes and cleanups:   - add support for Chinese (two-byte) Character text
writing and fonts (vanilla);   - move rather long manpages listing from Makefile
into separate files (sobomax);   - bump PORTREVISION as a result.    

Mark as BROKEN if OSVERSION < 400000 (3.* and downward not supported).    

Properly name tty (use %x instead of %d to get device name).    

Yet again improve keyboard support.    

Improve FreeBSD support:    

Add svgalib - a *native* port of well-knows Linux console graphics library.
