| 4 | 4 | ||
| 5 | 5 | Noticed TCRT does not give proper results in Darwin terminal.app. Using DEC control codes, some of them can be done. | |

| 11 | 11 | Adapt the properties of the IDE shortcut (set a 7 bit wide font if needed), or, if you prefer to execute from the command line, make a batch file that contains: | |

| 16 | 18 | ## How to change codepage locally under Windows? | |
| 17 | 19 | ||
| 18 | 20 | This has never been confirmed, but the sequence below was recommended to a Japanese IDE user who had the default codepage set to Japanese, while the IDE requires CP437 (Mantis 9649): | |
| 19 | 21 | ||
| 20 | 22 | - set the console font to Lucida Console | |

| 31 | + | There appears to be an additional wrinkle when using a user virtual terminal. | |
| 32 | + | Symptoms: The User Screen overwrites the IDE screen. | |
| 33 | + | Analysis: In ~/ide/fpusrscr.pas source code, in 'constructor TLinuxScreen.Init;', where FName = '/dev/vcsa/x' | |
| 34 | + | ``` | |
| 31 | 35 | ||
| 32 | - | ||
| 36 | + | ``` pascal | |
| 37 | + | TYFd:= fpOpen(FName, &666, O_RdWr); | |

| 40 | + | ```text | |
| 41 | + | always returns a '-1' due to the standard udev permissions for /dev/vcc/a* . | |
| 42 | + | Brute force work-around: As root, chmod 666 /dev/vcc/a*" or edit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules to make the permissions at boot: | |
| 43 | + | original: | |
| 44 | + | KERNEL=="vcsa[0-9]*", NAME="vcc/a%n", SYMLINK+="%k", GROUP="tty" | |
| 45 | + | to: | |
| 46 | + | KERNEL=="vcsa[0-9]*", NAME="vcc/a%n", SYMLINK+="%k", GROUP="tty", MODE="666" | |
| 47 | + | Other: Maybe there is an underlying incompatibility between grab_vcsa and udev ? | |
