All linus-tree stuff is rewrited here. Keyboard interface put back in ruby
CVS when
ruby code ported into linux-dj. IMHO very hard get back keyboard interface.

If You lost keyboard , You can play with kbd_connect() keyboard.c
Any correctly detected keyboard call this to find free VT.

I try start Your kernel and get nasty old bug.
tty_struct tty->termios are destroyed or uninitialized or filled with
garbage.
IMHO  my backstreet-ruby has same bug, but that do not pop up.
First I should find this, then do merging with CVS ruby.
My knowlege is to few for fast work.

Unfortunately I must finish one comercial project.
