I'm trying to do some work based on vgl but it appears that it is tied to
syscons and any vgl programs must be started off a console.  Is there any
way I can start a vgl program from a remote terminal (but have the output
be displayed on the local VGA screen) without writing a proxy of some
kind?

I peeked at the source and there are various syscons related ioctl() calls.
Any reason that /dev/io and /dev/mem wasn't used instead?

Thanks!

Tim
