bruby-2.4.29 and tty0= current vc

[Hugo V. <hvw...@ya...>]

Hi,

Gpm, the vc mouse daemon, does copy/paste with the
mouse.

You can select anything and then in any vc paste that.

But in bruby-2.4.29 you can copy from any vc but gpm
pastes ALWAYS into the first vc, never into the
others.

Gpm pasts with ioctl to tty0, defined in the kernel
docs as the "current vc". 

So bruby-2.4.29 does not switch vc's right. I got
around this with my ill-fated netled by writing to
tty1-6, but gpm is not that simpleminded.

Ruby.vz9×1 does it right. I haven't tried the patch to
that yet.
