Ah, this is something I forgot about. There are existing ioctl interfaces for this on Linux and BSD (linux/vt.h, sys/consio.h) that are almost the same on the two platforms. So we might as well do something that is at least mostly source-compatible with that. These basically give ways to synchronize with the vt switching and disable the console driver's hot keys so the X server can know when it's safe to access the video hardware directly and restore it to its prior state when a switch is requested. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
