What I mean was 'all of the above'. My projects aims to modernize FreeBSDs console in a big picture. That whould range from "simple" vga + keyboard to a possible machine indepent framebuffer API. The case, why I am considering porting wscons, is that in this way all *BSD could benefit from this work. If they would adopt changes is another question. ;) Sorry, if that wasn't clear... best regards, Gordon -- Gordon Bergling <GBergling at 0xfce3.net> http://www.0xFCE3.net/ PGP Fingerprint: 7732 9BB1 5013 AE8B E42C 28E0 93B9 D32B C76F 02A0 RIPE-HDL: MDTP-RIPE "There is no place like 127.0.0.0/8"
