Ok. I added a reference but the "Configure Options" chapter does not speak
about --enable-*. I prefer not to add something there because it would mean
some general description.

Ok, it makes sense. The readline manual is using @key for these.

+The @value{GDBN} Text User Interface, TUI in short,
+is a terminal interface which uses the @code{curses} library
+to show the source file, the assembly output, the program registers
+and @value{GDBN} commands in separate text windows.
+The TUI is available only when @value{GDBN} is configured
+with the @code{--enable-tui} configure option (@pxref{Configure Options}).
+
+@node TUI Overview
+@section TUI overview
+
+The TUI has two display modes that can be switched while
+@value{GDBN} runs:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+A curses (or TUI) mode in which it displays several text
+windows on the terminal.
+
+@item
+A standard mode which corresponds to the @value{GDBN} configured without
+the TUI.
+@end itemize
+
+In the TUI mode, @value{GDBN} can display several text window
+on the terminal:
+
+@table @emph
+@item command
+This window is the @value{GDBN} command window with the @value{GDBN}
+prompt and the @value{GDBN} outputs. The @value{GDBN} input is still
+managed using readline but through the TUI. The @emph{command}
+window is always visible.
+
+@item source
+The source window shows the source file of the program. The current
+line as well as active breakpoints are displayed in this window.
+The current program position is shown with the @samp{>} marker and
+active breakpoints are shown with @samp{*} markers.
+
+@item assembly
+The assembly window shows the disassembly output of the program.
+
+@item register
+This window shows the processor registers. It detects when
+a register is changed and when this is the case, registers that have
+changed are highlighted.
+
+@end table
+
+The source, assembly and register windows are attached to the thread
+and the frame position. They are updated when the current thread
+changes, when the frame changes or when the program counter changes.
+These three windows are arranged by the TUI according to several
+layouts. The layout defines which of these three windows are visible.
+The following layouts are available:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+source
+
+@item
+assembly
+
+@item
+source and assembly
+
+@item
+source and registers
+
+@item
+assembly and registers
+
+@end itemize
+
+@node TUI Keys
+@section TUI Key Bindings
+@cindex TUI key bindings
+
+The TUI installs several key bindings in the readline keymaps
+(@pxref{Command Line Editing}).
+They allow to leave or enter in the TUI mode or they operate
+directly on the TUI layout and windows. The following key bindings
+are installed for both TUI mode and the @value{GDBN} standard mode.
+
+@table @kbd
+@kindex C-x C-a
+@item C-x C-a
+@kindex C-x a
+@itemx C-x a
+@kindex C-x A
+@itemx C-x A
+Enter or leave the TUI mode. When the TUI mode is left,
+the curses window management is left and @value{GDBN} operates using
+its standard mode writing on the terminal directly. When the TUI
+mode is entered, the control is given back to the curses windows.
+The screen is then refreshed.
+
+@kindex C-x 1
+@item C-x 1
+Use a TUI layout with only one window. The layout will
+either be @samp{source} or @samp{assembly}. When the TUI mode
+is not active, it will switch to the TUI mode.
+
+Think of this key binding as the Emacs @kbd{C-x 1} binding.
+
+@kindex C-x 2
+@item C-x 2
+Use a TUI layout with at least two windows. When the current
+layout shows already two windows, a next layout with two windows is used.
+When a new layout is chosen, one window will always be common to the
+previous layout and the new one.
+
+Think of it as the Emacs @kbd{C-x 2} binding.
+
+@end table
+
+The following key bindings are handled only by the TUI mode:
+
+@table @key
+@kindex PgUp
+@item PgUp
+Scroll the active window one page up.
+
+@kindex PgDn
+@item PgDn
+Scroll the active window one page down.
+
+@kindex Up
+@item Up
+Scroll the active window one line up.
+
+@kindex Down
+@item Down
+Scroll the active window one line down.
+
+@kindex Left
+@item Left
+Scroll the active window one column left.
+
+@kindex Right
+@item Right
+Scroll the active window one column right.
+
+@kindex C-L
+@item C-L
+Refresh the screen.
+
+@end table
+
+In the TUI mode, the arrow keys are used by the active window
+for scrolling. This means they are not available for readline. It is
+necessary to use other readline key bindings such as @key{C-p}, @key{C-n},
+@key{C-b} and @key{C-f}.
+
+@node TUI Commands
+@section TUI specific commands
+@cindex TUI commands
+
+The TUI has specific commands to control the text windows.
+These commands are always available, that is they do not depend on
+the current terminal mode in which @value{GDBN} runs. When @value{GDBN}
+is in the standard mode, using these commands will automatically switch
+in the TUI mode.
+
+@table @code
+@item layout next
+@kindex layout next
+Display the next layout.
+
+@item layout prev
+@kindex layout prev
+Display the previous layout.
+
+@item layout src
+@kindex layout src
+Display the source window only.
+
+@item layout asm
+@kindex layout asm
+Display the assembly window only.
+
+@item layout split
+@kindex layout split
+Display the source and assembly window.
+
+@item layout regs
+@kindex layout regs
+Display the register window together with the source or assembly window.
+
+@item focus next | prev | src | asm | regs | split
+@kindex focus
+Set the focus to the named window.
+This command allows to change the active window so that scrolling keys
+can be affected to another window.
+
+@item refresh
+@kindex refresh
+Refresh the screen. This is similar to using @key{C-L} key.
+
+@item update
+@kindex update
+Update the source window and the current execution point.
+
+@item winheight @var{name} +@var{count}
+@itemx winheight @var{name} -@var{count}
+@kindex winheight
+Change the height of the window @var{name} by @var{count}
+lines. Positive counts increase the height, while negative counts
+decrease it.
+
+@end table
+
+@node TUI Configuration
+@section TUI configuration variables
+@cindex TUI configuration variables
+
+The TUI has several configuration variables that control the
+appearance of windows on the terminal.
+
+@table @code
+@item set tui-border-kind @var{kind}
+@kindex set tui-border-kind
+Select the border appearance for the source, assembly and register windows.
+The possible values are the following:
+@table @code
+@item space
+Use a space character to draw the border.
+
+@item ascii
+Use ascii characters + - and | to draw the border.
+
+@item acs
+Use the Alternate Character Set to draw the border. The border is
+drawn using character line graphics if the terminal supports them.
+
+@end table
+
+@item set tui-active-border-mode @var{mode}
+@kindex set tui-active-border-mode
+Select the attributes to display the border of the active window.
+The possible values are @code{normal}, @code{standout}, @code{reverse},
+@code{half}, @code{half-standout}, @code{bold} and @code{bold-standout}.
+
+@item set tui-border-mode @var{mode}
+@kindex set tui-border-mode

+The @var{mode} can be one of the following:
+@table @code
+@item normal
+Use normal attributes to display the border.
+
+@item standout
+Use standout mode.
+

+
+@item half-standout

I've integrated this patch to:
- fix warnings in the tui code,
- add tui_show_source() used by tui-out.c to display the source file
- fix a readline tty problem when we enter/leave tui mode

Hi!
On Solaris when the gdb-tui is restored from background, the screen is
refreshed correctly but the cursor is not put at the correct place.
It should be in the command window at the current readline cursor.
(no such pb on Linux, or with ncurses 5.x).
The following patch solves this by explicitly restoring the cursor
after SIGCONT. I've committed this patch.

leave it in the command window.

cursor after we go back from background.

Hi,
sorry for the slow answer but I was very busy.

hmm the code seems to behave quite strange, I found out the following:
have_ptrace_getfpxregs will be always 1 this means that the ptrace call never
fails (at least not with errno == EIO. On breakpoint trigger for
fetch_fpxregs() I have the following:
Breakpoint 1, fetch_fpxregs (tid=1863) at i386-linux-nat.c:472
1863 is the correct PID of the mplayer process, now when I print out tid I
get:
(gdb) p tid
$4 = 136444668
This is the value that will be passed as second argument to ptrace() call,
but although I think this value is not correct, ptrace call will not fail and
set have_ptrace_getfpxregs or give error message:
483 perror_with_name ("Couldn't read floating-point and SSE
registers");
IMHO tid passed to fetch_fpxregs() and tid passed to ptrace() should be
identical, shouldn't they?

No I have no SMP system, this is PIII Coppermine 850 Notebook running Linux
2.4.4 kernel.
