Errata discovered in the FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE notes

[DavidMarec]

One noticed (french) that the key to enable/disable bell in vt was not
bell_enable as written in both release notes and commit message, but enable_bell into kern.vt 's OIDs.

Moreover, there is still nothing about this in vt(4) man page.

Anyone to publish an errata?

Please, read
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.3R/relnotes.html#kernel

Go ahead and file a PR to update the vt(4) man page.

Please, read

I do read carefully:

The vt(4) terminal console driver now supports kern.vt.bell_enable sysctl variable to enable or disable terminal bell. The default is 1 (enabled)

Check it:

david:~>sysctl kern.vt.bell_enable
sysctl: unknown oid 'kern.vt.bell_enable'

swapping last words:

david:~>sysctl kern.vt.enable_bell
kern.vt.enable_bell: 1

What's that I misread ?

 

[cpm@]

Yep, it's an errata.

Can you proceed according to my previous comment #2?

This error should be documented properly in the FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE Errata document.
