Without this elements properly abstracted any alternative console project reinvents the wheel. I guess what I'm saying here is that we should port wscons so that it consistently uses our kbd, vga, and vesa drivers (assuming everything is properly newbussified). I wish we could run many console types at the same time, but this is not really the same problem. cheers, Pedro. ______________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
