Future of Ruby: head for the hills

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

Hi,

Found a neat quote from  Vojtech Pavlik in
fa.linux.kernel (Sep 1, 7:23 am):

==========================================
> (When) Will there ever be native kernel (and maybe
XFree) support for
> multiple independent keyboards?

The kernel console is unlikely to ever going to have
that - noone is interested in changing the console
subsystem.

The current state of input device support in the
kernel, however, allows any userspace program to
access them independently, including keyboards.

That means multi-user X and possibly a userspace
console implementation (Jon Smirl is planning one) has
no barriers in the kernel input device implementation
keeping it from proceeding.

The problems with multiple VGA cards, etc, are much
harder to solve, though. 
==============================================

I don't know Jon Smirl, but Aivils of course already
has such a solution with Faketty, working very well,
thank you.

So head for the hills and while you are running hope
Aivils is running with you.
