None of those, I wasn't talking about wscons (which I
understand is a replacement of pcvt) but about
FreeBSD. I would have prefered to let the actors of
that thread explain it better, but well... let's hope
my memory doesn't betray me:
The discussion back then ocurred right after Yokota's
syscons redesign. Jonathan Mini suggested modifying
the console code so that, for example, <ALT-F1>
provided a pcvt console and <ALT-F2> an sco-like
console. Julian Elischer posted a nice OO design of a
discussion that was dated back from the 386BSD days.
The interesting document is not easy to find and I'm
not sure if it's on -current or on -hackers.
I'll look for the link and I'll post it to the list.
cheers,
Pedro.
