With the current tree you can't get around this. With the work we have been doing you can :-) This makes sense especially on handheld device which lack a keyboard but still has a visible display. So with the tree we have it is possible to 1) Use a regular keyboard without a VT. This is what you want to do. The device you want to use to do this /dev/input/eventX. One of them will be your keyboard. 2) Framebuffer without keyboard/VT. Common case for emebedded devices. Same thing, you use /dev/fb directly without having to have a VT console. A VT console makes no since without a keyboard. |
