AW: Kernel Version

[Unger R. <ric...@te...>]

Hi!

Thanks for the tip, I should obviously have checked for tags...

Is the linuxconsole stuff still under active development?=20
Will the redesigned console layer make it into the mainline kernel?

To me it seems like an obvious idea that if a multiuser system has =
multiple screens and keyboards, multiple (independant) terminals should =
be possible. In fact, to me, any other situation indicates a little bit =
of a design problem.

Currently I'm playing with the 2.6.9-ruby kernel I compiled. Don't have =
much time as I am moving these days, but it looks like the kernel boots =
fine and the /dev/bus/console devices are now available...

I do have a few questions, documentation on this is so hard to find...

1) Is it possible to have more than one VGA console, or is the VGA =
console always only bound to the primary graphics device?
2) What's the status on framebuffer support? All the docs indicate =
framebuffer console isn't ready - is it worth trying out multiple =
fbcons?

Thanks!

Richard
