I'm not sure at which level we should implement this. I mainly wrote the new /dev/console implementation, because it is a lot more simple than the existing one and removes ugly hacks from the TTY code (like recursive locking, etc). Maybe if I can find some more time I'll look into it more closely, but my todo list is very long right now. ;-) -- Ed Schouten <ed_at_80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/
