- ChuckMcM 13y agoHere is the thing, Kmscon would work just fine. Because the VT340 works perfectly well as a VT100 terminal. But when you want to do graphics on it, you send it ReGIS commands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReGIS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReGIS) and it draws lines and shapes and stuff like that. Hell even XTERM has a Tek4010 mode which is poorly supported at best. But ReGIS support, especially now that all the patents are expired, would be perfectly fine for this sort of thing.
