It's not only the emulation. pcvt has some more (though less known) features. Think about 132-column mode or its totally different (and not SCOish) font interface. I cannot actually use syscons in its current form on my notebook since it garbles the screen -- it damages the 640x480 raster. (Ok, pcvt still has some uglyness in this area, too, but the idea to not feature it after SCO gives it more freedom of designing the API than being stuck with a late-70's DOSish way as SCO did.) However, since pcvt has an urgent need of a rewritten keyboard driver, perhaps we should actually start to use a common keyboard layer (and internal API for this)? This should already help alot. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
