Hi Peter,
Thanks for the explanation about THUMB_BUDGET & BCODE_ONLY, I have now got PETSCII running, though I still wonder if I'm not doing something wrong as I'm seeing a much greater slow down than 2.7X if I use BCODE_ONLY, I'm seeing about 10X slower?
Also thanks for the pointer about the Frame bufferlayers, I forgot that Fuzix effectively uses the LCD model for layers. :-(
I have also been looking at problems I am having using Vi.
First thing I have found is that if I use Tera Term, Vi seems to behave well, but If I use just a USB keyboard and a HDMI monitor I have problems.
1. Vi doesn't work in Mode 1, it only uses the top half of the screen, and then does not scroll when the cursor gets to the last line of the file as displayed on the screen, that last line changes as you scroll down further, but the lines above it do not move up.
2. when using the monitor, in Mode 2 the first line of a file is missing, this puts all subsequent lines 1 line too high, so for example if I scroll down to a line and do yy (yank line to buffer) then immediately do p (put line(s) in buffer at cursor) the line that is inserted is not the one I (appeared to) copy from the screen, the inserted line also gets put in apparently the wrong place, so things now start to get very confusing, if you redraw the screen, I do it with G followed by 1G (go to end of file, go to line 1 of file) the positioning of the line is now corrected, but it is still not the line I yanked.
This is a poor explanation, if you have both a terminal and a monitor going side by side it will become obvious.
Getting Mode 1 would be nice, more screen area, but not essential, but getting it working in Mode 2 would be a nice minimum. Thanks.
Regards Kevin.

Hello,

I have connected an US keyboard and have the following problem, when I press the @ character I get “ and vice versa.The keys seem to be swapped ?

Any idea?
