I have a version of syscons that loads its term interpreter as a LKM and so it can be changed to some other emulation. If would could get a volounter to take pcvt's vt220 emu and massage it a bit, I'll help with the syscons interface and what extra hooks might be nessesary. This would put us on the right track to the "great unified console driver".. Oh well, enough dreaming for today.... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Soren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team So much code to hack -- so little time.
