Ok, I have thought a bit about a sensfull console subsystem. Here are my ideas:
The system should be layerd
1. Input/Output
- Framebuffer (/dev/fb/X)
- Input driver (Vojtechs new ones)
- Serial console (/dev/tts/*)
- Parallel printer (dev/lp/*)
2. Generic console layer, bundles I/O devices to heads
- /dev/con/X (tty)
- /dev/con/iX (input queue)
- /dev/con/sX (sound device, optional)
where X=0 is the current head
3. Virtual terminal multiplexer (in userlevel?)
- /dev/vc/X (tty)
- /dev/vc/iX (input queue)
- /dev/vc/sX (sound device, optional)
where X=0 is the current vt
How do you think about this ?
Christoph
