Hi,
I have written a program which makes a VT useable after quake has
mangled it..
Its really useful when you are testing out new things :)

(Of course you still need another machine to run it from, but you ca
write a wrapper script to call it when quake exists.. - oh another
point - don't run it when quake is, then quake will not be able to
understand any keyboard events, you can fix it by doing ALT-F2,
logging in(blind) then killing quake :)

		printf("Failed to open console - %s\n", strerror(errno));
		exit(5);
	}

	if (ioctl(sfd, KDSKBMODE, K_XLATE) == -1)
		printf("ioctl failed - %s\n", strerror(errno));

	close(sfd);
}
