Ok, that makes sense. Input drivers however don't currently have a way to request the core to callxf86OpenConsole, similar to the absence of the HW_SKIP_CONSOLE flag in the case of video drivers. What do you recommend to add to the InputDriverRec? A driverFunc method like video drivers? Something else?
