I wouldn't mind seeing the proof-of-concept > implmementation. :-) Erhm, there I had this nice little theory :) Well, actually I'm getting pretty close to having something usefull (The Visual Basic idea is still theory though, just inventef a few days ago), its only graphic at the time, but syscons has all the hacks to generate a "real" mousepointer in text mode etc, so its merely writing the nessesary wrappers for taht one. Anyhow the project I'm on at work "should" be finished on thursday (or we'll get beaten up quite badly), so that should free up my nights for hacking..... If this is the way we want to go, I'm sure I can find the time to get it running.... (also I would LOVE to contribute some "real matter" again.. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Soren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team So much code to hack -- so little time.
